LUNT LS80MT/B1800R&P Multipurpose APO Telescope for Sun + Night-Sky

Modular designed multipurpose telescope, both for observing the sun in the H-alpha wavelength, as well as for night sky observations. Easy conversion between the different applications with a few simple steps. 3-lens apochromatic telescope with FPL-51 glass, 130mm aperture and 910mm focal length - excellent image quality for H-Alpha solar observation and also for observing the starry sky at night. With innovative air pressure tuning system, good 2 inch (50.8mm) R&P focuser, and B3400 blocking filter. Solar observing in H-alpha: The LS130MT/B3400 is a complete telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha light, with 130mm free aperture (no central obstruction) and 910mm focal length. The H-alpha wavelength is the most impressive way to observe the sun, showing protuberances at the sun's edge, filaments and flares on the surface, and much more. An internal Etalon filter achieves a bandwidth of <0.7 Angstrom with the innovative air pressure tuning system Pressure-Tuner. Tuning is done by slightly changing the air pressure in a pressure chamber inside the telescope. This changes the refractive index of the air, making it easy to tune to the H-alpha line. The pressure tuner guarantees a homogeneous image, without central obstruction, and a permanently protected Etalon without erosion. A set of collimating lenses installed in the telescope ensures best performance. Fine adjustment is achieved with a solid 2 inch R&P focuser with 10:1 reduction. Blocking-filter is the B3400. The B3400 is good for solar imaging by cameras with very large sensor chips, and can also be used for visual observing. The B3400 blocking-filter is fix installed inside the 2 inch R&P focuser. Observing the starry night sky: The H-Alpha Etalon system can be removed from the telescope in a few easy steps thanks to its modular design. Then the 3-lens apochromatic refractor can be used as a normal telescope with 130mm aperture and 910mm focal length for observation and photography of the night sky. The FPL-51 triplet lens offers an outstandingly low colour aberration image. Common 2 inch star diagonals can be used at the R&P focuser of the telescope. Please note that the optionally available conversion kit 0551696 is absolutely necessary for the LS130MT version with B3400 blocking filter if the telescope is also to be used at night. The conversion kit is not required for the versions with B1200 and B1800. More applications: With additionally available accessories the LS130MT offers even more possibilities! - Double-Stack The LS130MT telescope can optionally be upgraded with the additionally available double-stack module LS130MT/DSII (item number 0551690). The DSII system is a internal double-stack module with Pressure-Tuner. Thereby a bandwidth of <0.5 Angstrom is achieved for H-alpha solar observation. Therefore much more details on the solar surface will become visible. - Solar observing in White-Light If the H-alpha unit has been removed, of course either a sun filter can be installed in front of the objective, or a Herschel-wedge at the focuser can be used to observe the sunspots in White-Light. - Solar observing in Ca-K wavelengthThe additionally available "LUNT Ca-K Filter Module for LS130MT" (item number 0551697) can be used on the LS130MT to observe and photograph super-granulation and other effects visible at this wavelength on the sun. This makes the LS130MT a completely universal usable apochromatic telescope of highest quality!

The optics of the VMC260L are significantly better than the traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Despite its high 3000 mm focal length, it is just 650 mm long. Featuring a large 260 mm aperture, the telescope collects large amounts of light for serious professional observations and photography of the planets and countless deep-sky objects. Thanks to the dielectric mirrors, the VMV260L guarantees razor-sharp images and maximum brightness. The open lens barrels cool the telescope quicker than conventional closed Cassegrain systems. The telescope can be used with an optional 0.62x focal reducer to reduce the aperture ratio to 1:7.1. This shortens the exposure times and allows you to photograph large objects. The telescope comes with a standard dovetail bar and a carry handle that doubles up as a camera holder for night sky photography. The Finder Scope and the Vixen Flip Mirror is not included in this version ! FEATURES Very short cool-down time thanks to open lens barrel Optimised system for photography Very transportable – only 650 mm long Lightweight design – only 12.1 kg Large 260 mm aperture Built-in correction lens in front of the secondary mirror Backfocus without Reducer: 149,4 mmBackfocus with Reducer: 63,5 mmTotal weight: 12.1 kg WHAT’S INCLUDED VMC 260 telescope/lens barrel Carry handle VIXEN standard dovetail barFinder Bracket ShoeEA60 mm to 50.8 mm SX

The R200SS features very fast f4 200 mm optics with a parabolic primary mirror and produces extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. A special layer made using state-of-the-art technology provides an optimal surface for observing and photographing deep-sky objects. The large aperture and short size make this device ideal for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of an optional coma corrector provides a sharp image until the edges of the field of view. The focuser features a socket for 2-inch eyepieces. Vixen has developed a unique aluminium vacuum evaporation system that produces extreme precision mirror surfaces. The revolutionary Vixen system allows for controlled coating of the primary mirror for greater accuracy. This coating is used on both the VC200L and the R200SS.

This set, consisting of the MESSIER NT-150L/1200 telescope and the EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount, combines sharp images with precise tracking and easy sky navigation. With the 150 mm aperture, the telescope allows impressive views of nebulae, galaxies, and other fascinating celestial objects. The long focal length of 1,200 mm also reveals many exciting details on the planets. Additionally, thanks to the high-quality solar filter, you can safely admire our own star. The modern mount, with its precise GoTo control and user-friendly ExploreStars app, provides the ideal foundation for your visual observations and advanced astrophotography. The Telescope High stability and razor-sharp optics are the hallmarks of the MESSIER NT-150 telescope. The 150 mm aperture allows you to observe even smaller nebulae in the vastness of space. Discover the remnants of a massive star explosion from the year 1054 in the Taurus constellation, or trace the bright filaments of the Great Orion Nebula. Spot the famous Pinwheel Galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, or find the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. With the high-quality objective solar filter, the telescope is also perfect for the safe observation of sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits. The Mount The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount features a modern and very precise GoTo control. It consists of a robust Wi-Fi controller unit, which provides all the necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors are directly connected to this unit via cable, and an ST-4-compatible autoguider interface is also available. Additionally, the control system supports micro-stepping to ensure precise tracking. Intuitive operation via app and graphical star map The specially developed ExploreStars app for the PMC-Eight system impresses with a visually appealing and intuitive user interface. The currently available alignment stars for initializing the control, as well as all celestial objects from the database, are displayed as a star map with additional text information. All these objects can be easily viewed and selected. Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization At the heart of the controller unit is a fully self-sufficient 2-channel multi-processor with 8 CPUs and a Wi-Fi Ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP function. This enables remote operation via browser, ASCOM, app, or serial connection. The Open GoTo also allows custom firmware to be written and uploaded to the controller unit. This enables individual customization of device functions and the creation of custom object lists. Polar finder included The pre-installed polar finder scope included in the package allows for quick and precise polar alignment and long exposure times without unwanted star trailing. The integrated LED lighting unit further enhances the usability of the polar finder.
