Purpose-built LS40FHa front etalon to double-stack your Lunt 40 mm dedicated H-alpha telescope for a serious contrast boost
No central obstruction and integral tilt tuning maintain even illumination and let you precisely dial features on-band
Tighten your system from an estimated <0.70 Å (single stack) down to ~<0.50 Å (double stack) for finer filaments, mottling, and plage detail
Blocking filter required for safe operation (Lunt BF, matched to your setup; sold separately)
Drop-in upgrade that does not change the telescope’s focal length (400 mm remains unchanged)
Lightweight, field-friendly design (~1 lb)—ideal for travel and quick outreach setups
Store it with your scope: fits the optional LS40 aluminum hard case with fitted foam
