Lunt 50mm solar scope

[MortonH]

Noticed that pre-orders are being taken ahead of a June release. US price is $799 or $899 depending on blocking filter. If a US vendor will ship here they should be under the GST limit.

Wonder what the Australian prices will be...

That should be a great little scope. The 60mm LUNT with a 50mm double stack filter on the front provides quite stunning views. The pressure tuner is a big improvement on the traditional tilt design.

It will be a massive step up on the ~40mm designs like the PST and babu Lunt. Think about the difference between an 8 inch and 10 inch dob, that's the change we're talking about (actually I think the quality of the bigger LUNT stuff makes it more dramatic than that even)

I think between $1,000 and $1,200.
