Turn your favorite refractor into a high-contrast solar telescope—then remove the filter and head back to night observing in minutes
Front-mounted 60 mm etalon (no central obstruction) for crisp, even illumination across the full solar disk
Integrally tuned, tilt-tuned design delivers an estimated <0.70 Å bandpass for rich surface detail and dramatic limb prominences
Double-stack ready: add a second etalon to tighten the bandpass to ~<0.50 Å (scope-dependent) for ultra-fine structure and higher contrast
Pick the blocking filter package that fits your scope and focuser size: from B600 for short focal lengths to B3400 for longer instruments
Retrofit-friendly (adapters required): designed for daytime use on customer-supplied refractors and easily removable for nighttime viewing
Built for visual and imaging—choose a larger blocking filter for longer focal lengths to keep the full disk in-band
Ships in a rugged aluminum hard case with fitted foam—protects your investment at home and in the field
Important: A Lunt blocking filter must be used with all Lunt H-alpha filters at all times

Note: Adapters are required to fit the etalon to your refractor and are typically ordered separately.
