LS80MT Premium Kit — 80mm Universal Day & Night Modular Telescope Flagship double-stack performance. FPL53 ED optics. The finest 80mm solar telescope Lunt makes.

Now with new-generation etalons — every unit individually tested on Lunt's precision metrology equipment. Every specification is verified, not estimated.

The LS80MT Premium Kit is the finest 80mm solar telescope Lunt makes. Built around a premium FPL53 ED doublet objective with ion-assisted broadband AR coatings, it delivers exceptional contrast and colour correction for both solar and nighttime observation. The SFPT internal double-stack module places two independently pressure-tuned etalons in series, reducing combined system bandpass to <0.28Å — with dual independent Doppler True pressure tuners giving you complete control over bandpass optimisation.

Two pressure-tuned etalons working in series, each with its own tuning knob, each responding instantly to adjustment. The internal architecture maintains perfect optical alignment across the entire bandpass adjustment range. The result is sub-quarter-angstrom performance with the tuning flexibility that only dual pressure systems can provide.

What You'll See

At <0.28Å combined bandpass through 80mm of premium FPL53 ED optics, the chromosphere reveals structure that single-stack instruments at any aperture struggle to match. Plage boundaries resolve into sharp cellular networks. Filaments show multi-strand complexity with defined dark cores. Active regions display their full magnetic architecture — penumbral detail, light bridges, and small-scale evolution visible in real time. Prominences show internal threading and flow patterns from base to tip with a clarity that rewards patient observation.

By night, remove the H-alpha module and you have a premium 80mm f/7 FPL53 ED doublet refractor. The same glass that delivers exceptional solar contrast delivers the colour correction and contrast that serious observers demand for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky work. The same 2" dual-speed focuser. The same optical quality. A complete second telescope built into the one you already own.

The 7.2–21.5mm zoom eyepiece provides continuous magnification from full-disk context to tight active-region crops without changing glass — critical during sessions when conditions shift and you need to move between targets and magnifications without missing a moment.

Why This Package

The SFPT internal double-stack module is included. The internal double-stack architecture means both etalons benefit from pressure tuning rather than mechanical tilt, maintaining perfect optical alignment across the entire bandpass adjustment range. Two independent tuners give you separate control over each etalon for maximum flexibility in dialling in the exact bandpass position you want. The B1800 blocking filter provides 18mm of clear aperture for full-frame imaging capability. The 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus and ZWO EAF compatibility handles every accessory and imaging workflow you throw at it.

The best wrist rest I've used.
Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard
It has just the right balance of firmness and softness. The cooling gel does keep it cool. It is durable. Its rubber grip holds it firmly on my desktop. If I need another one, I will purchase this product.

It's fantastic. It's just not quite perfect.
Color: Black, Size: Full Size
Update after almost 2 years of ownership: I've gotten very used the the height of the full height keyboard wrist rest. I can't go back to a smaller one. It's super comfortable. I bought a second one for work and 2 mouse wrist rests to go along. All of them are built fantastically. They clean easily. If something happened to one of the ones I already have, I would come straight back here to buy another of the same one. On point #2 in my original review below, I still wish the edges weren't tapered so much, but I have gotten used to it. I gave in and offset the wrist rest from the keyboard. Not ideal, but it gets the job done. Bottom line: would recommend any time. Original review: The build quality is good. The fabric is nice and soft. The bottom keeps it from sliding. It seems great, overall. I have only 2 problems with this thing: 1. It's too thick. I should have gone with the thinner one. Maybe it'll wear out a bit and my hands will lower into a position with which I'm more comfortable. 2. The left and right sides taper off. It's fine that the front and back do, but having the sides tapered means that if I center this along the bottom of my keyboard and rest my hands to type, my left hand is partially sloping off to the left side, off of the rest. Obviously this is easily fixed by sliding the rest to the left of center, but I've got a compulsion about things lining up and this really really digs into my brain badly.

By about last year I started looking at more pricey wristpads like the leather wrapped ducky and several other imitations online
Color: Black, Size: Full Size, Color: Black, Size: Full Size
I've been using Grifiti wristpads for a few years now at home and work. I buy a replacement every 6/9 months due to them getting absolutely filthy and having the top fabric falling apart. By about last year I started looking at more pricey wristpads like the leather wrapped ducky and several other imitations online. I decided to wait and at one point heard of Glorious although I was on a new set of Grifiti's so didn't think a lot of it. So the time came for new pads (once again!) and when I was checking for alternatives to the Grifiti (and the Leather from EliteKeyboards, Ducky, Filco, and other wristpads -- sheesh, I'd think I was talking keyboards there with names). Then I came across the Glorious and recalled its a higher quality wristpad so I decided to order a full and compact to use at work. Definitely very happy with them so far and by 6 months and a year then I'll see how they hold out. Pros: * Cushion-y soft great for resting and supporting wrists, hands, or an arm on * Firm without being too hard or soft * Cloth wrapped so they're not going to wear apart like a Grifiti * Cloth is sewed to the base and not glued by inspection * Doesn't slide, there's a textured non-slick rubber on the bottom. Great on my work desk! * Good price, the leather imitation glued to a base starts at $30+ dollars and they go up to $70 Cons: * None so far! I'll be buying 1 more for home use in a month as im using both full and compact at work. The compact size matches up well with my mouse pad there although you may want to measure if you do this. May Gaben be with you!

Overall great
Color: Black, Size: Mouse Wrist Pad
All positive things to say except one mildly negative comment which is also personal preference. Positives 1. Made well, doesn't fall apart or tear at the seams. 2. Perfect size for a mouse wrist rest 3. Comfortable for average duration usage, 2-5 hours 4. Simple yet elegant design, nothing over the top or "gamery" (It is a freakin wrist rest folks, it looks good and works) 5. Non slip rubber does keep it from sliding around the majority of times on the majority of surfaces such as glass and metal however on a slick laminate I find it still slides about a bit. It works well but when they look to the future perhaps an eval on this would help. Negatives (Take with a grain of salt as I suffer from both Arthritis and Carpal Tunnel from 20 years of long duration PC use) 1. Too firm and not contoured to cradle your wrist. Because of this I find for my use (12-16 hours daily as I work and play on PC) it still causes fatigue and eventual pain. I would prefer the material cradle my wrist either by adding additional depth to the support material while softening it or again have a contoured shape. Overall this works incredibly well and for somebody who put a ton of effort and money in the aesthetics of my PC master race set up with RGB everywhere and whatnot, having a simple and good looking wrist rest goes a long way to add to the look without detracting from any other element as those other "Gamer" wrist rests do. I love the thing and it is the best I have found however for my personal situation with wrist injuries I would love this company to produce one focused on fatigue prevention for those of folks with common PC use conditions.
