LS130MT Flagship Kit — 130mm Universal Solar & Astronomical Telescope The finest solar telescope Lunt makes. Observatory-grade performance. Nothing else comes close.

There are solar telescopes. And then there is the LS130MT.

At 130mm of clear aperture through a professional-grade FLP51 ED triplet objective, the LS130MT Flagship Kit operates in a class that has no meaningful competition. This is the instrument that serious solar observers spend years working toward — the telescope that reveals the chromosphere not as a feature to observe, but as a landscape to inhabit. Paired with the LFPT internal double-stack module and its <0.28Å combined system bandpass, it delivers chromospheric contrast and resolution that very few human beings have ever experienced outside of dedicated research observatories.

This is also, without modification, a world-class astronomical refractor. Remove the solar module and the LS130MT becomes a 130mm f/7 FLP51 ED triplet — 910mm of premium focal length delivering planetary detail, lunar topography, and deep-sky views that most observers never encounter outside of observatory eyepieces. One instrument. Two disciplines. No compromise in either.

The Solar Experience

Point the LS130MT at the Sun with the LFPT double-stack active and the chromosphere opens up in a way that demands a moment of stillness before you begin observing. The scale of what 130mm of aperture collects — combined with <0.28Å bandpass that strips away everything except the precise hydrogen-alpha signature — produces a view that experienced observers consistently describe as transformational.

Supergranulation cells resolve as a structured, living network rather than a diffuse background texture. Individual intergranular lanes become visible at the boundaries between cells, tracing the magnetic skeleton of the chromosphere. Plage regions surrounding active areas glow with an intensity that reveals their magnetic field concentration — not as a uniform brightness but as a complex, internally structured landscape of knots and threads. Filaments show multiple dark strands with distinct boundaries, suspended above the photosphere in magnetic channels whose geometry becomes legible at this aperture and bandpass. Active regions display their full magnetic architecture — penumbral flows, light bridges, Ellerman bombs — in real time, evolving visibly over the course of a single observing session.

Prominences at 130mm and <0.28Å are extraordinary. Internal threading resolves from base to tip. Flow patterns within prominence plasma become traceable. Structural evolution — the slow rotation of a hedgerow prominence, the accelerating unraveling of an eruptive event — becomes visible on timescales of minutes rather than hours. The Doppler True dual pressure tuning system lets you shift through the hydrogen-alpha line with precision, watching the entire chromospheric landscape respond in real time as you scan from blue wing to red. This is not solar observing. This is solar science.

The Night Experience

Remove the H-alpha module and the LS130MT becomes a different instrument entirely — though no less impressive. The 130mm FLP51 ED triplet at f/7 delivers 910mm of focal length with the colour correction and contrast that serious planetary and deep-sky observers demand. Jupiter's cloud bands and the Great Red Spot in high-contrast colour. Saturn's ring system with Cassini Division resolved on steady nights. The Moon as a geological landscape — crater walls, rilles, and ray systems rendered with the sharpness that only premium apochromatic glass can provide. Globular clusters resolved to their cores. Double stars split at the theoretical limit of the aperture. The same instrument that showed you the chromosphere in extraordinary detail by day reveals the universe in extraordinary detail by night.

Purchased individually, the components of the LS130MT Flagship Kit retail for over $11,300. The Flagship Kit price of $9,995 represents a saving of over $1,300 — everything you need, configured and ready to observe at the highest level.

Chuckit!! Just Chuck it!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Chuck it further than your skinny little arms can chuck it. Doggo loved this, I loved this and when we were done Doggo promptly hid it under the porch so I couldn’t take it from him. It’s not a squeaky toy, it’s for fetch. You wing it out toward the yard and it flies, bounces if it’s lucky then is attacked in an adoring manner. We like it!!

Great For Dog Park Fun -- The Ball Goes Flying
Size: 25in, Style: Sport
I love this thing. It's super well made and It enables me to chuck a ball the entire length of the dog park (I'm a 65 yr old woman with a wimpy arm). My dog is thrilled too. At first I thought it might be too heavy, but that's just not an issue, the weight is fine. For non-throwers like me someone at the dog park gave me a tip --- just look at the area you want to throw the ball. Helped my aim immensely. The 2.5 inch chuck it ball it comes with is my dog's absolute *favorite* . . . it's her security blanket in the kennel while driving, and it's her favorite ball to chase (the only one she'll actually bring back). She loves to chew it and to squish the air out of it, which takes a little effort. Recommend.

Great tool!
Size: 18in, Style: Sport
Ok - so I do not have a dog!!! I purchased this item for a completely different purpose! I saw someone using this to gather eggs!! I often go to my daughter and son-in-law's homestead to carry out the chores when they need to be out of town! Well, I am a bit on the short side (4'11") and some of the hens KNOW that a short person is going to be gathering eggs!!! I simply could not reach all of the eggs in a couple of the nesting boxes! So, after seeing someone else use this ball launcher as an egg retriever, I bought one! I am now able to reach ALL of the eggs - one at a time with no breakage! It was a game changer for me. I am sure that it works equally well for dog play!!!
