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.
Note: No eyepiece included.
Blocking Filter Choice
You must select either a B1200 or B1800 Blocking Filter for your H‑α system:
-
B1200 Filter: Normally sufficient for visual observing, giving excellent contrast and detail.
-
B1800 Filter: Recommended for imaging or extreme wide-angle eyepieces, as the larger field of view helps avoid vignetting.
