Lunt 40mm Dedicated Hydrogen-Alpha Solar Telescope

so far so good

I love the telescope. I only had a chance to use it twice so far. The views of the sun are amazing - seeing prominences, sunspots, etc.

Best entry level halpha scope

First of all red carpet provided great service from the start. We had a little back&forth with lunt to confirm I knew what I was getting with my unusual choice of options. The lunt40 is currently the best entry level halpha telescope. Compared to the PST it offers a better finder, upgradeable focuser, and lunt's etalons are generally better. In my particular sample the views are good and just what you would expect from 40mm. The helical focuser is, umm, usable. Definitely consider an upgrade at some point. The included dovetail is a tad too short to balance properly. You can use that as an excuse the get the double stack module. Overall good optics, so so mechanics. The shortcomings can be solved and even stock it's better than the competition.

A nice experience

Hello! I had a nice experience buying from you a Lunt 40 mm solar telescope. I am eager to use its etalon for double stacking a Lunt 40mm BF500 that I already have. Best regards.
