Lunt 60mm Modular for Night

Recommended Posts

Does anyone use the Lunt 60mm modular for night time observing? I have one coming and while I wait I have lots of time to think about what I can do with a 60mm with a FL of 420mm. My Goto is my 4" which begs the question, what sort of specialized observing would a 60mm 420mmFL scope serve? pardon my ignorance but I have never used such a small, short tube refractor for night time. At 420mm would it not suffer from horrific CA?  someone set me straight. Maybe it would make a good planetary imaging grab and go if I fit three 4x barlows on it. 😂

It’s actually an ED refractor - since Lunt went modular they’ve stopped using achromats - though I think the 60mm is FPL-51 rather than 53. So CA should be pretty well controlled at F/7. I have an F/6 60ED which is a decent all-round scope so the Lunt should be too.👍👍
