Andy Lunt, son of the late David Lunt who founded Coronado Technology Group, is carrying on a family tradition with the launch of Lunt Solar Systems, a company dedicated to producing affordable solar telescopes and filters. The LS35THα ($499) is a hydrogen-alpha telescope that breaks new ground for a compact system that can show the Sun’s prominences and delicate surface detail. Featuring a full-aperture, 35-mm etalon, the system has a bandpass narrower than 0.75 angstrom, and it comes with a mounting bracket and diagonal — just add a tripod and eyepiece and you’re ready to enjoy our nearest star.
