LS60MT modulare Multipurpose Telescope 

 
 
 
 

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. 
 
Included Contents: 
- LS60MT telescope with 2-lens ED optics 
- H-alpha unit with Pressure-Tuner 
- Blocking-filter B600 or B1200. Please note: at the version without blocking-filter is for 
 

solar observing a additional available blocking-filter absolutely needed! 

- Tube-ring with 1/4-20 tapped base (standard thread for photo-tripods) 
- 6 knurled screws for easy conversion of the telescope 
- Protection caps for the H-alpha unit 
- Transport case 
 
 
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the modular LS60MT telescope from Lunt Solar Systems! 
Enjoy observations in different wavelengths with this small and easy to transport telescope. The 2-lens ED 
optics guarantee an excellent image in all applications. 
 
 

Safety Information: 

 

There are inherent dangers when looking at the Sun thru any instrument. Lunt Solar Systems has taken your 
safety very seriously in the design of our systems. With safety being the highest priority we ask that you read 
and understand the operation of your telescope or filter system prior to use. Never attempt to disassemble 
the system in a other way as described in this manual! Do not use your system if it is in someway 
compromised due to mishandling or damage. Please contact our customer service with any questions or 
concerns regarding the safe use of your instrument. 

 

Never look at the Sun with your naked eye or with a telescope that is not specifically designed to do 
so. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result! 

 

Never leave the solar telescope unsupervised while pointed at the Sun. People who are not familiar 
with the correct operating procedures of the system may inadvertently replace the diagonal or 
remove the filter itself not being aware of the integrated safety features of each. 

 

The Lunt Solar filter/telescopes are not interchangeable with competitor products. 

 

A Lunt Solar Systems solar telescope houses many optical elements that are all pre-aligned and fixed at the 
factory. There are no user serviceable parts inside the scope. The telescope should never be taken apart, 
except for the modification as described in this manual! This will not only void your warranty leading to costly 
repairs, it can only serve to further damage the instrument and compromise its safety. 
 
Most Lunt Solar Systems filters and telescopes house a delicate optical element referred to as an Etalon. 
These Etalons are suspended in the system housing in an effort to both protect it and isolate it from outside 
influences, which could de-tune the Etalon filter. Extensive research has been done to assure the best 
performance of what is essentially the "heart" of the system while protecting it from the day-to-day bumps, 
jarring, and vibrations of normal use. However, the instrument should never be subjected to shock due to 
being dropped. Mishandling of the filters system will cause the Etalon to de-contact (not covered under 
warranty) and will render the instrument useless until repaired. 
 
The instrument should be stored in its original case. As with any precision optical instrument it should be 
kept in as low a humidity area as possible. 
With proper handling and care the filter should last a lifetime.
