Product information "LUNT LS18CaKMDs2 Ca-K filter in extension tube"
Calcium-K module in straight extension tube, for using normal astronomical telescopes up to 100mm aperture and up to 1620mm focal length as Ca-K solar telescopes.
This Calcium-K module transforms your normal astronomical refractor telescope into a Ca-K solar telescope. It will be very easy: Put the Ca-K module into the 2" focuser of your telescope, and you are ready for solar observing in the light of the Calcium-K wavelength.
Internal narrowband filters allow for a <2.4 Angstrom bandwidth. For refractor telescopes up to 100mm aperture and up to 1620mm focal length. For imaging it will be better to use a bigger Ca-K module.
The Ca-K module is in a straight extension tube, for 2" focuser on the telescope side, and with T2 thread and 1.25" eyepiece connection on the eyepiece side.
All needed filter parts are integrated inside the compact module. There are no additional filters needed.
The Ca-K wavelength is at the edge of the visible light spectrum for human eyes, so for many people visual observing is difficult. However, all details could be captured photographically. Therefore the Ca-K Module is optimized primarily for imaging.

Warning notes
- Safety instructions: There are certain dangers when observing the sun, regardless of the telescope used. Lunt-Solar-Systems places great emphasis on the safety of their products during manufacture. Your safety is the highest priority, and we ask that you carefully read the telescope manual before beginning solar observation. Please never disassemble the telescope! Never use it if it has been modified or damaged in any way! Always contact our customer service if you have any questions regarding the safety of your instrument. Never look at the sun with an unprotected eye or with a telescope not intended for solar observation! Never leave your telescope unattended while it is pointed at the sun! Other people who are unfamiliar with it might attempt to replace the block filter with another prism, unaware of how critical this filter is for safety. The components of Lunt-Solar-Systems telescopes are not interchangeable with those of other manufacturers. Lunt-Solar-Systems solar telescopes contain several different optical elements that have been precisely adjusted and mounted during manufacture. These systems require no maintenance. Never disassemble the telescope. Doing so will void the warranty, potentially leading to expensive repairs, and may cause future damage to your instrument, compromising your safety! Most Lunt-Solar-Systems telescopes and filters include a very sensitive optical component called an Etalon. These Etalons are built into the system to protect them as best as possible. Countless considerations have been made to ensure the best performance of this "heart" of every system, even under the daily stresses it inevitably faces, such as shocks and vibrations during transport or regular use. Nevertheless, it should never be dropped. Improper use of the telescope can damage the Etalon (not a warranty case) and render the system unusable until repaired. The instrument should always be stored in its original packaging or in the optional transport case (item number 0554010). Like any optical precision instrument, it should be stored in a dry environment. With proper care, you will enjoy your instrument for a lifetime!

LUNT LS40FHa H-alpha double-stack filter for LS40THa
€998.00*
Double-stack filter for LS40THa telescopes.
The bandwidth of H-alpha systems can be reduced by so-called "double-stacking". A smaller bandwidth provides much more contrast at the solar surface, thereby many more details will become visible.
Double-stacking with a bandwidth of only <0.55 Angstrom is also possible at the LS40THa telescopes. Therefore Lunt Solar Systems has especially designed this LS40FHa double-stack filter in compact housing.
FEATURES
Aperture: 40 mm
Bandwidth: <0.55 Angstrom
Tuning: mechanical tilt-tuning
Housing diameter: 70mm
Length: 60mm
Weight: 0,3kg

BRESSER Messier NT-203/1000 Hexafoc EXOS-2 GoTo Telescope
€1,495.00*
NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.
The BRESSER Messier NT-203 with a parabolic main mirror enables observations that wouldn´t
have been possible in this price range a few years ago. Through
the use of modern manufacturing technology, one can follow the shadows
of Jupiter´s moons on the planet itself. The depth of structure
and detail on Jupiter´s surface is breath-taking.The Messier NT-203 doesn't however only score in planetary observation: Explore
structures in far away galaxies and observe wisps of fog from the
nebulae emission in the depth of the Milky Way. Using the Messier NT-203 you can explore the remains of exploded giant stars and the
birthplace of new stars. This above-average devise can help you
discover the real beauty of our universe!Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.CHARACTERISTICS OPTICSOptical design: reflector telescopeMirror diameter: 203mm / focal length: 1000mm / F/5Maximum recommended magnification: 406x
