Oh Boy!
With Lunt Solar Systems new Modular Telescope line up,
versatility is the name of the game!
Say Hello to the NEW LS60MT, LS80MT,
LS100MT & LS130MT
Truly an all in one telescope experience; each can easily be configured between Hydrogen Alpha, White Light, Calcium K, Night Time and Terrestrial Uses, in minutes!

Re: Oh Boy!
One upping the new Coronado perhaps?
It is nice to see both are finally starting to do some innovation, though they still like to place lots of numbers in the prices!

Nice options!
I've been leaning toward the 300mm double stack, but I may need to reconsider: https://www.highpointscientific.com/lun ... 0tha-b3400

Re: Oh Boy!
Interesting, I wonder if Markus had LZOS make the lens or if he has found a eastern factory that can produce 300mm+ lens sets.bladekeeper wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 1:57 am Nice options!

Re: Oh Boy!
The cell looks like it is a doublet though if you look really close.
With the open tube would you still need a ERF though?

I zoomed in and you're right. I question the need if you're using narrow band filtering though.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 3:27 am The cell looks like it is a doublet though if you look really close.
I'd rather think it all depends on what is in that monster double stack....With the open tube would you still need a ERF though?
