Lunt LS35t

[Chriske]

A while ago my friend died and left me with that solarscope.
There was no manual in the trunk that came with that little scope. So I do not know how this scope works.
I do know how telescope work, I build/grind my own telescopes/mirrors. So that's not the problem.
But this little scope left me with a few questions.
Can someone please explain how to use that little Lunt.

Thanks in advance.

Its the next aperture down from my Lunt 50mm, if it has a pressure knob on the side. I think it might use a different method to mine looking at the online pictures though.

Can you post a picture of the scope?

Now discontinued and replaced by the LS40.

I’ve owned a Lunt 35 since 2010.  The label on yours tells me it was also made in 2010, number 483 in that years production run. Mine also has the B400 blocking filter.

Mine has been frequently used and is still in top nick, all coatings in great condition. I’ve directly compared it to higher end Lunt models.  The views of solar prominences are very similar indeed. The main advantage of the more expensive scopes is detail on the solar disc and a wider field of view with the B600 or higher blocking filter.

If you need to ask any questions, please feel free to do that on here, or via PM.
