The Lunt 40mm is a dedicated hydrogen-alpha solar telescope engineered specifically for safe, full-disk solar observation of prominences, filaments, and surface details. Featuring a 40mm aperture with F/10 focal ratio, it delivers bright, high-contrast views using Lunt's precision hydrogen-alpha etalon with a narrow bandpass below 0.7 angstroms. The B600 blocking filter provides a 6mm clear aperture, making it ideal for visual observation and photography with excellent eye safety through military-specification light filtering. At just 2.6 pounds and under 15 inches long, this grab-and-go solar scope is equally suited for beginners learning solar observing or experienced astrophotographers seeking a portable companion instrument.
