Solar Scope Lunt LST60 Ha plus LS50F double stack

Clearing out rarely used Lunt LST60 solar scope (Sn 2009898). The older tilt-tuned version, with the 50mm double-stack add-on (Sn 2009578, also tilt tuned).
Included are tube rings and vixen dovetail attachment.
Televue Sol-searcher finder
Lunt 1.25" zoom lens 7.2 - 21.5mm
Lunt B1200 1.25" diagonal
Feather Touch 10:1 focuser
Packed in two separate aluminum cases.

Bought from IISer for 2013 eclipse. All works fine. Quality images as you would expect from Lunt.
Have replaced the cyan blocking filter in the diagonal. Supplied by
Lunt when original went smoky. This is a well recorded phenomenon. I believe the filter can also be restored using CLR. The original included.

Also thrown in is a plastic ring I manufactured that sits on the front of the system. The ring can clamp something that can be used as a sunshield when viewing. Otherwise life gets hot quickly when viewing. I used core flute as my shield material.

I will be bringing the unit with me to Sydney(Helensburgh) from Laos next Friday.
Tripod show in pics is not included.

Asking $2500. Shipping at buyers expense, or can come to some arrangement if not too far.


Will add extra pics in subsequent post.
