Lunt 80 mm Universal Day & Night Telescope (LS80MT)

The Lunt 80 mm Universal Telescope (LS80MT) is a modular day-and-night instrument engineered to perform both as a precision Hα solar scope and a high-quality nighttime ED refractor. Its FPL-53 ED doublet objective and f/7 focal ratio produce crisp, high-contrast images for solar limb detail, prominences (with Hα etalon), as well as planetary and deep-sky observing and imaging. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

The LS80MT ships in modular form — choose blocking filter options and focuser variants (Crayford, Rack & Pinion, or Feather Touch). The internal pressure-tuned Hα etalon supports Doppler-true barometric tuning and offers <0.65 Å bandpass in single-stack and <0.45 Å in double-stack configuration for fine solar detail. This telescope also converts easily for terrestrial or night-time use with supplied diagonals and adapters. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
