Please note: This solar telescope is not yet ready for use as the blockfilter is missing. Please select a blockfilter from the accessories. Only with a blockfilter is observation of the sun safe!
The LS60MT, in combination with a blockfilter, is a telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha light with a half-width of <0.7 Angstrom.
The special feature of this Allrounder: thanks to its modular design, the Etalon filter can be removed from the telescope in just a few simple steps. The double-lens apochromatic ED refractor then offers a 70 mm aperture with a focal length of 420 mm – a handy but high-quality instrument for observing and photographing the night sky. The ED element made of FPL-51 glass delivers a sharp, colour-corrected, outstanding image.
Standard 2-inch diagonal mirrors or cameras with 2-inch barrel extensions can be attached to the Crayford focuser. With an Amici prism, the telescope can even be used during the day for nature and landscape observations - a true allrounder in the format of a small travel telescope!
But it also offers all the possibilities for use as a solar telescope:
- With an Etalon and blockfilter for observing the Sun in H-alpha
- Without Etalon and block filter but with a Herschel wedge for observation in white light
- With Ca-K filter module for observing the sun in the light of the calcium K line
The advantage: You can decide for yourself which blockfilter you want to buy, as these vary considerably in price.
PT pressure tuner: Fine-tuning on the Etalon filter is provided via an air pressure system. A small change to air pressure within a pressure chamber inside the telescope changes the refractive index of the air, resulting in precise yet effortless adjustment to the H-alpha spectral line. The pressure tuner guarantees a uniform image with no central obstructions and a long-lasting wear-resistant etalon.
The delivery includes a transport case. The external dimensions of the case are: 53 x 33 x 17 centimetres.
