Cool scope. Fun to see a star in "real time". I got this on sale, so I was limited to the 4mm blocking filter. If I paid full price I would go for the 6mm, but this is still fantastic!

I got it with B400 at 499USD from Adorama. One of the best deals in the recent years. Even with the original price, the image the Lunt LS50THA provided worth every penny. I used both Pentax XW 10mm and 7mm and got very crisp image. 50mm aperture definitely a level up compare other entry level solar scopse at 35mm or 40mm. Solar HA observation is not cheap. I believe this Lunt is the best C/P value everyone can get in this category.

The only complaint I have is that I can't afford a bigger one! This scope is really great, nice clear views of prominences and some forming spots. You can see the texture in the chromosphere. I will definitely want a stacking unit to fill the need for more detail. The helical focuser isn't my favorite and doesn't have enough back focus for my ccd, so no images yet. I will likely change out with a crayford. Great construction, feels very sturdy and packing is fantastic. Lunt is a winner in my book.

The Lunt LS152THa is currently the largest solar telescope available, and is sure to provide the most stunning balance of resolution and performance.
The 100% unobstructed system will perform to the highest level at both low and high magnifications. Utilizing both advanced high-contrast coatings, and the new Doppler True Pressure Tuning system, the user will be able to experience crisp, sharp, high magnification visual images, as well as utilize this system for high end digital processes.
True Doppler Tuning allows for a shift into and away from the user. Adding a 3D like component to the viewing experience. While it has minimal effect on proms due to their location at the edge of the disk, it does have an effect on filaments and active regions on the surface.
While looking at a filament at the center of the Sun, the user has the ability to Doppler shift from the base of the filament to the tip, following the filament through it's structure toward you and away from you, allowing for enhanced visual and imaging capability for the observer as well as a research tool for the avid hobbyist. The pressure tuning system provides an order of magnitude more precision to the tuning of the desired features.
This system has an optional, interchangeable, CaK module allowing for the research of multiple wave lengths thru the same platform. You can also convert the LS152THa for nighttime viewing with a special backing plate & focuser kit.
The Lunt Solar Systems LS152THa Solar Telescope is perfect for the Intermediate to Advanced User
