LS80MT Premium Kit : 80 mm H-Alpha Double Stack modular universal day and night telescope

Visit LS80MT Premium Kit represents the highest level of performance in Lunt Solar Systems' 80 mm solar range. Designed around a premium FPL53 ED lens with ion-assisted broadband multi-coating, this system offers outstanding optical quality for both H-Alpha solar observation and night-time astronomy.

The internal module SFPT Double Stack incorporates two independent Pressure-Tuned standards operating in series to achieve a combined bandwidth of less than 0.28 Å. This advanced Double Stack system offers exceptional chromospheric contrast and unique tuning flexibility thanks to its two independent True Doppler tuners.

The LS80MT Premium is a truly universal, top-of-the-range instrument capable of switching from high-precision solar observation to an 80 mm f/7 ED refractor for lunar, planetary and deep-sky observation.

Premium FPL53 ED optics

The LS80MT Premium is based on a lens FPL53 ED doublet 80 mm f/7 with ion-assisted broadband anti-reflective treatment.

This configuration guarantees :

  • Exceptional color correction
  • Very high contrast
  • Excellent light transmission
  • Remarkable detail
  • Optimum solar and night-time performance

FPL53 glass is particularly sought-after for high-end instruments requiring very high optical precision.

SFPT Double Stack Pressure-Tuned System

The internal module SFPT Double Stack uses two Pressure-Tuned calibrators operating in series.

Each standard has its own independent True Doppler adjustment system.

This advanced architecture enables :

  • Combined bandwidth <0.28 Å
  • Extremely precise contrast optimization
  • Perfect field homogeneity
  • Total absence of optical misalignment
  • Maximum setting flexibility

Unlike mechanical tilt-tuned systems, this internal architecture maintains perfect alignment over the entire adjustment range.

Ultra-detailed H-Alpha solar observation

With a bandwidth of less than 0.28 Å and an aperture of 80 mm, the LS80MT Premium reveals an exceptional level of detail:

  • Extremely sharp chromospheric cell arrays
  • Multi-structured filaments with detailed dark cores
  • Complex, evolving active regions
  • Dark details and visible light bridges
  • Protuberances with internal flows and structures

Magnetic structures become visible in real time with a level of finesse rarely achieved on instruments of this diameter.

Premium night-time astronomy

With the H-Alpha modules removed, the LS80MT Premium becomes a high-end 80 mm f/7 ED refractor:

  • High-resolution lunar observation
  • Contrasting planetary observations
  • Excellent color correction
  • Wide-field deep-sky observation
  • Double star observation

The same FPL53 ED lens used for solar applications also guarantees excellent performance in classical astronomy.

B1800 full-format blocking filter

The blocking filter B1800 offers a clear opening of 18 mm:

  • Compatible with full-format sensors
  • Fully illuminated image without vignetting
  • Optimized for solar imaging
  • Excellent visual comfort in wide fields

This filter is ideal for advanced solar astrophotography.

Professional dual-speed eyepiece holder

The LS80MT Premium incorporates a Rack & Pinion 2″ dual-speed eyepiece holder with 10:1 reduction:

  • Ultra-precise focusing
  • High mechanical stability
  • ZWO EAF autofocus compatible
  • Suitable for heavy accessories
  • Perfect for high-resolution imaging

Focusing accuracy is essential to fully exploit the performance of Double Stack.

7.2-21.5 mm zoom eyepiece included

The zoom eyepiece supplied allows instant adjustment of magnification:

  • Full disk observation at low magnification
  • Quick zoom on active regions
  • Smooth transitions without changing eyepieces
  • Quasi-perfocal design

Features :

  • 7 elements / 4 groups
  • 53° to 40° apparent field
  • Eye relief 15 mm
  • Anti-reflective coating 0.1 %

Integrated solar handle with red dot finder

The multifunction solar handle makes it easy to carry and point:

  • Secure one-hand transport
  • Integrated solar researcher
  • Permanent alignment of the researcher
  • Quick installation in the field
