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 "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle. The "Just Step-In" Reality Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch. Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day. The Sizing Gamble Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes. The Breakdown The Pros: True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed. Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal. Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer. Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear. The Cons: Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit. Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness. Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale. Value for Money Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.

Step In Look Good
Size: 11.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
I am wearing these shoes as I write this review, and they look and feel great. I have a bit of a disability with drop foot on the right leg and bilateral neuropathy and have been wearing step in shoes for about 10 years. But the first company that introduced leather dress and casual shoes stopped making them and now only makes sport and casual shoes. So I have been searching for some that meet my need for shoes like this and this company has given me three pairs, so far. Easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and good looking. And they take polish very well, too. (Remember how to do that?). We may buy another pair or two in different styles as well.

Runs tight. Skinny and smaller than other brands.

Comfy and lots of support. Cushiony. Beware: the brown I ordered runs small. Tighter than other brands.
