LS60MT Standard Kit — 60mm Universal Day & Night Modular Telescope One telescope. Day and night. Professional-grade ED doublet optics with hydrogen-alpha by day and lunar, planetar y, and deep-sky by night. Now with new-generation etalons — every unit individually tested on Lunt's precision metrology equipment. Every specification is verified, not estimated. The LS60MT is Lunt's most versatile solar telescope — a true universal instrument built around a professional-grade 70mm FLP51 ED doublet objective. By day, the internal pressure-tuned H-alpha module delivers 0.45Å verified bandpass with Doppler True tuning that responds instantly to pressure adjustments. By night, remove the solar module in minutes and you have a premium 70mm f/6 refractor for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observation. The FLP51 ED doublet objective provides the colour correction and contrast that observers demand. The 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus handles heavy imaging loads while delivering the micro-adjustment precision that narrow-band solar observation requires. Pressure tuning eliminates the angle-dependent sweet spot of tilt-tuned systems — the entire 60mm aperture delivers uniform bandpass across the field. Dial in prominences at the limb, then instantly shift to surface detail with a twist of the pressure knob. What You'll See By day: the full hydrogen-alpha chromosphere at 0.45Å. Prominences arcing off the solar limb. Filaments tracing dark paths across the disk. Active regions alive with magnetic detail. Pressure tuning lets you scan through the chromosphere in depth, watching structures appear and recede as you shift through the spectral line. Sixty millimetres of aperture collects 50% more light than a 50mm instrument, revealing finer structure and brighter prominences. By night: the Moon in crisp, high-contrast detail. Planetary disks with the colour correction that an ED doublet provides. Deep-sky objects within the reach of a 70mm aperture, from double stars to bright clusters. The same focuser, the same mount, the same optical quality — a complete second telescope built into the one you already own. Why This Package If you want one telescope that does it all, this is it. The LS60MT eliminates the choice between a dedicated solar scope and a nighttime refractor. The modular design means you switch modes in minutes. The 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus is included from the start, providing the mechanical precision that both solar and nighttime observing demand. ZWO EAF compatible for automated focus control. And like all Lunt 60mm systems, the Standard is fully double-stack capable — add a DS module at any time to bring combined system bandpass to Show more
