LS130MT Flagship Kit — 130mm Universal Solar & Astronomical Telescope The finest solar telescope Lunt makes. Observatory-grade performance. Nothing else comes close.

There are solar telescopes. And then there is the LS130MT.

At 130mm of clear aperture through a professional-grade FLP51 ED triplet objective, the LS130MT Flagship Kit operates in a class that has no meaningful competition. This is the instrument that serious solar observers spend years working toward — the telescope that reveals the chromosphere not as a feature to observe, but as a landscape to inhabit. Paired with the LFPT internal double-stack module and its <0.28Å combined system bandpass, it delivers chromospheric contrast and resolution that very few human beings have ever experienced outside of dedicated research observatories.

This is also, without modification, a world-class astronomical refractor. Remove the solar module and the LS130MT becomes a 130mm f/7 FLP51 ED triplet — 910mm of premium focal length delivering planetary detail, lunar topography, and deep-sky views that most observers never encounter outside of observatory eyepieces. One instrument. Two disciplines. No compromise in either.

The Solar Experience

Point the LS130MT at the Sun with the LFPT double-stack active and the chromosphere opens up in a way that demands a moment of stillness before you begin observing. The scale of what 130mm of aperture collects — combined with <0.28Å bandpass that strips away everything except the precise hydrogen-alpha signature — produces a view that experienced observers consistently describe as transformational.

Supergranulation cells resolve as a structured, living network rather than a diffuse background texture. Individual intergranular lanes become visible at the boundaries between cells, tracing the magnetic skeleton of the chromosphere. Plage regions surrounding active areas glow with an intensity that reveals their magnetic field concentration — not as a uniform brightness but as a complex, internally structured landscape of knots and threads. Filaments show multiple dark strands with distinct boundaries, suspended above the photosphere in magnetic channels whose geometry becomes legible at this aperture and bandpass. Active regions display their full magnetic architecture — penumbral flows, light bridges, Ellerman bombs — in real time, evolving visibly over the course of a single observing session.

Prominences at 130mm and <0.28Å are extraordinary. Internal threading resolves from base to tip. Flow patterns within prominence plasma become traceable. Structural evolution — the slow rotation of a hedgerow prominence, the accelerating unraveling of an eruptive event — becomes visible on timescales of minutes rather than hours. The Doppler True dual pressure tuning system lets you shift through the hydrogen-alpha line with precision, watching the entire chromospheric landscape respond in real time as you scan from blue wing to red. This is not solar observing. This is solar science.

The Night Experience

Remove the H-alpha module and the LS130MT becomes a different instrument entirely — though no less impressive. The 130mm FLP51 ED triplet at f/7 delivers 910mm of focal length with the colour correction and contrast that serious planetary and deep-sky observers demand. Jupiter's cloud bands and the Great Red Spot in high-contrast colour. Saturn's ring system with Cassini Division resolved on steady nights. The Moon as a geological landscape — crater walls, rilles, and ray systems rendered with the sharpness that only premium apochromatic glass can provide. Globular clusters resolved to their cores. Double stars split at the theoretical limit of the aperture. The same instrument that showed you the chromosphere in extraordinary detail by day reveals the universe in extraordinary detail by night.

Purchased individually, the components of the LS130MT Flagship Kit retail for over $11,300. The Flagship Kit price of $9,995 represents a saving of over $1,300 — everything you need, configured and ready to observe at the highest level.

Great quality and folding it in half is a plus. Fits under a seat in car/truck.
Purchased another, as we need one in each car. This is a great ball thrower, especially as it folds in a half. Makes it easy to store under a car/truck seat. Haven’t had any problem with it, great quality!

Fantastic throwing aid!
Very well made, great quality and doesn't feel cheap at all. It's thick, not flimsy or fragile so you can really swing it to launch a ball. Saves my body that I don't have to bend over to pick up the ball anymore, and saves my shoulder that I don't have to hurl the ball anymore. Another bonus is you don't have to touch a slobbered, soggy ball, or a ball covered in dirt. The foldable design is fantastic because I walk everywhere with my dog and don't want to carry around a long stick that's awkward to hold. This folds down small enough that I can securely put it in the back pocket of my jeans without worrying about it falling out. The thing I love most about it is there's a elastic loop at the end so when you fold it you can latch it securely. This small detail is outstanding because I can also hang it on the strap of my sling bag and with the loop secured it will not slip off the strap. This product is so well made and thought out overall.

Excellent toy for play
My dog would play all day if I threw the ball to him. He loves this even though he's 12. The scooped end allows you to pick up the ball without touching it. After a few runs it's covered in dog slobber. So that's a major plus for me! Also, some health issues affect my walking and bending at times. This helps with the bending. This is a great game to play with your favorite friend!

Your high-energy dog will love it!
Why did I wait so long to get one of these?!? I am the stereotypical throws-like-a-girl person, and my dog really needs to have an option that forces her to run far and fast. This is it. I can get that ball half a soccer field away at a minimum if I want. The ball is super bouncy, which adds an element of fun to her attempts to tame it and bring it back. Super worth the money (which wasn't much!). I've never had one of these before, so can't compare to the non-folding version. This one is easy to carry and fits in a drawer for storrage. No way you can fit it in a pocket, especially if you have a phone in one and dog treats in the other.
