The Lunt 80mm Universal Telescope is a precision-aligned ED refractor featuring an FPL53 doublet lens engineered for both hydrogen-alpha solar observation and nighttime deep-sky viewing. With its modular design, the telescope easily converts between solar and conventional observing modes, offering excellent views of solar prominences and surface details during the day while transforming into a high-quality refractor for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky work after sunset. The internal Doppler True Tuning system provides superior 3D-like viewing of solar features, while the f/7 focal ratio and premium extra-low dispersion glass deliver outstanding contrast and minimize chromatic aberration. Built by hand in the USA and meticulously tested, it represents professional-grade imaging capability for solar-focused observers seeking versatile day-and-night performance.
