Re-Focus:
When you feel you have tuned effectively, re-focus the telescope. The finer details should come into
view. Try to relax the eye while observing and let the details come to you.
Change the eyepiece:
When you have a good feel for observing at lower magnifications try to increase the
magnifications in small steps. Place an interesting artifact in the center of the field. Replace the 25mm with a 8 -
12mm eyepiece. Look thru the eyepiece and re-focus carefully. The image has dimmed slightly due to higher
magnification but the details should be easier to see. You can push the magnification as seeing conditions allow.
Seeing conditions:
Please note that seeing conditions can affect the performance of your telescope in H-alpha
wavelength. Cloud cover, wind, humidity, and air turbulence caused by heat play a major role and can
complicate the observation of details.
Double-Stacking:
Double stacking is also possible with the LS50THa telescope. The additionally available double-stack filters
LS50C (item number 0550210) can be simply screwed onto the front of the LS50THa, no additional adapters are
required. This will reduce the bandwidth to <0.55 Angstroms. This significantly increases the contrast on the
surface of the sun, which makes much more details visible on the solar surface.
Recommended accessories:
- LUNT dovetail bar LS100PS for installing the telescope at astronomical mounts (item number 0554401)
- LUNT Sol-Searcher (item number 0554301)
- LUNT LS7-21ZE zoom-eyepiece 7.2mm to 21.5mm (item number 0554501)
- LUNT transport-case for LS50THa (item number 0554010)
Please note:
Please keep the foam insert from the delivery box. The optionally available transport-case
for the LS50THa (item number 0554010) is not supplied without such a foam insert, the original foam
insert from the delivery box fits exactly into this transport-case.
