Lunt 80mm Telescope Bundle

The New Lunt 80 mm Universal Telescope is a powerhouse modular telescope, taking one of Lunt Solar Systems most popular sized telescopes and making it even more functional! At 80mm Aperture, with a FPL53 Doublet Lens, the 80 mm Universal Telescope is a precision aligned ED refractor that is made to impress whether you are chasing the Sun’s active regions or sifting through the stars of the milky way.

In Hydrogen Alpha configuration single stack mode, the 80 mm Universal Telescope provides excellent viewing prowess at <.65 Å bandpass with Lunt’s renowned Doppler True Tuning (pressure tuned) system. But don't sleep on its capabilities simply because the Sun goes down!

And after sunset, let the stars and planets shine! Conversion from hydrogen alpha mode has never been easier: Remove the hydrogen alpha module (and attached pressure tuner) from your telescope optical tube assembly (OTA), and replace with the focuser of your choice.

EXTENDED SHIPPING TIME:  Lunt Telescopes are individually assembled and tested by hand.  Allow up to 90 days for assembly.  These telescopes are well worth the wait!

DISCLAIMER:  Because this is a "built to order" item, no returns are accepted outside of manufacturer defects.

Standard Kit / Bundle:

Why This Package

If you want the resolution and contrast that only real aperture can deliver, the LS80MT Standard is your entry point. The B1200 blocking filter with 12mm clear aperture provides generous field illumination from the start, and the 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus gives you the mechanical precision that 80mm of aperture demands. The solar handle with integrated red dot finder is purpose-built for telescopes of this size — a single integrated solution that stays aligned and makes the telescope genuinely portable despite its larger aperture. And like all Lunt 80mm systems, the Standard is fully double-stack capable — add the SFPT module at any time to bring combined system bandpass to <0.28Å.

Includes:

• LS80MT OT
• B1200 Blocking Filter: 12mm clear aperture. Proprietary filter stack for safe H-alpha observation.

Enhanced Kit / Bundle:

Why This Package

The B1800 is the blocking filter that serious solar imagers choose for 80mm systems. Its 18mm clear aperture ensures your full-frame sensor sees the complete, unvignetted image circle. Combined with the 2" focuser's ZWO EAF compatibility for motorised focus control, this package is ready for dedicated imaging sessions from day one. For visual observers, four dedicated eyepieces mean you always have the right magnification without compromise. Solar conditions change constantly — seeing fluctuates, active regions evolve, prominences erupt. Having 29x through 70x at your fingertips means you are always observing at the right power for what is happening on the Sun. And like all Lunt 80mm systems, the Enhanced is fully double-stack capable — add the SFPT module at any time to bring combined system bandpass to <0.28Å.

Includes:

• LS80MT OTA: 80mm aperture, 560mm f/7 doublet objective. Internal pressure-tuned etalon (Doppler True), 0.45Å bandpass. Modular design for day/night use.
• B1800 Blocking Filter: 18mm clear aperture. Full-frame sensor coverage without vignetting.
• 2" R&P Focuser (10:1): Dual-speed with 10:1 fine focus reduction. ZWO EAF compatible for motorised focus control.
• Solar Handle w/ Red Dot Finder: Integrated tube ring assembly. Built-in solar finder stays permanently aligned.
• 5.5" Vixen Dovetail: Black anodised aluminium. Universal mount compatibility.
• Hard Case: Aluminium hard case with custom-fit foam insert.

Premium Bundle / Kit:

Why This Package

The SFPT internal double-stack module is included. The internal double-stack architecture means both etalons benefit from pressure tuning rather than mechanical tilt, maintaining perfect optical alignment across the entire bandpass adjustment range. Two independent tuners give you separate control over each etalon for maximum flexibility in dialling in the exact bandpass position you want. The B1800 blocking filter provides 18mm of clear aperture for full-frame imaging capability. The 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus and ZWO EAF compatibility handles every accessory and imaging workflow you throw at it.

Includes:

• LS80MT OTA: 80mm aperture, 560mm f/7. FPL53 ED doublet with ion-assisted broadband AR coatings. Internal pressure-tuned etalon (Doppler True), 0.45Å bandpass. Modular design for day/night use.
• SFPT Internal Double Stack: Combined system bandpass <0.28Å. Dual independent Doppler True pressure tuners. Internal architecture maintains optical alignment across full tuning range.
• B1800 Blocking Filter: 18mm clear aperture. Full-frame sensor coverage. Imaging and wide-field visual.
• 2" R&P Focuser (10:1): Dual-speed with 10:1 fine focus. ZWO EAF compatible for motorised focus control.
• Solar Handle w/ Red Dot Finder: Integrated tube ring assembly. Built-in solar finder stays permanently aligned.
