Description
LS40FHa Double Stack Solar Filter
The Lunt LS40FHa Solar Filter is a 40 mm aperture (no central obstruction) integrally tuned etalon for use on Lunt Dedicated 40 mm Telescopes
The Lunt LS40FHa Double Stack Unit is intended for use with the Lunt 40mm Dedicated Hydrogen Alpha System and requires a Lunt Solar Systems Blocking Filter (this is a safety requirement).
Because the LS40FHa Solar Filter has an estimated bandpass of <0.70 Angstrom it is capable of providing high contrast views of both surface and edge detail. Significantly, adding an additional etalon system (double-stacking) will reduce the bandpass to ~<0.50. Allowing for higher resolution viewing and/or imaging.
LS40FHa Specifications: (single filter)
- Optical Aperture: 40 mm
- Etalon: <0.50 Angstrom as Double-Stack
- Tuning: Tilt
- Focal Length: 400mm (Unchanged)
- Filter Storage: Fits in optional aluminum finished hard case with fitted foam for LS40mm
- Filter Weight: ~1 lb (~.4kg)

Absolutely fantastic. Works as advertised, though it would have been simpler if the primary Etalon was threaded. No big deal though. It is a well tuned Etalon and shows plenty of high contrast detail with no ghosting or hot spots. Highly recommended.
