Lunt 40mm DS

Post by EricF »

hi everyone,

for those who are interested - I just got an email this morning from Lunt Solar - 40mm DS module is for sale.

Appears to be the etalon housing from a 40mm scope, with an adapter, and a metal case. $595.

Have to do some things around the house so I'm allowed to buy one ;)

Eric.

No time for waiting!

I have stacked two etalons from two lunt40 solar refractors...

Poor lunt40 tube body, Vincent!!!!

next step, a double-double stack? something tells me it is possible to put your two etalons with mine on a stiff refractor...
see you at the spring french astro solar meeting in Burgundy!!!

the very next step, put all this glasses into the folded 8" refractor of Paul-"Banjo"!
