Page 2: Safety Information
Safety Information There are inherent dangers when looking at the Sun through any instrument. Lunt Solar Systems has taken your safety very seriously in the design of our systems. With safety being the highest priority, we ask that you read and understand the operation of your telescope or filter system prior to use. - Page 3 A Lunt Solar Systems solar filter or telescope houses many optical elements that are all pre-aligned and fixed at the factory. There are no user serviceable parts inside the scope. The telescope or filter should NEVER be taken apart. This will not only void your warranty leading to costly repairs, it can only serve to further damage the instrument and compromise its safety.
- Page 4 Safety First! - Always check any telescope before use for solar observing. Do not use any telescope or filter that appears to be damaged. Verify that all glass and filters are in place. - The Blocking Filter diagonal or extension tube must always be used with the Lunt telescope or filter for solar observing.
- Page 5 Reset the system for your location by unthreading the black PT knob More about Pressure Tuning: True Doppler Tuning (Pressure Tuning) allows for a shift into and away from the user. Amazingly, this adds a 3D-like component to the viewing experience. The amount of pressure being supplied to the etalon cavity is minimal.
- Page 6 Double stacking In H-alpha Double stacking is also possible with the Lunt 100MT telescope. The additionally available internal double stack filter, DSII, can be installed between the focuser and the primary H-alpha module using the set screws or provided thumbscrews depending on your preference. No additional adapters are required. This will narrow the bandwidth to <0.5Angstroms.
- Page 7 IMPORTANT SOLAR VIEWING SAFETY INFORMATION: Please take extreme caution when using any solar observing instrument making sure all necessary components are securely installed before pointing in the direction of the sun. Use the provided threaded lens cap to cover your front objective lens each time solar viewing components are removed the from this system.
