LS130MT Flagship Kit — 130mm Universal Solar & Astronomical Telescope The finest solar telescope Lunt makes. Observatory-grade performance. Nothing else comes close.

There are solar telescopes. And then there is the LS130MT.

At 130mm of clear aperture through a professional-grade FLP51 ED triplet objective, the LS130MT Flagship Kit operates in a class that has no meaningful competition. This is the instrument that serious solar observers spend years working toward — the telescope that reveals the chromosphere not as a feature to observe, but as a landscape to inhabit. Paired with the LFPT internal double-stack module and its <0.28Å combined system bandpass, it delivers chromospheric contrast and resolution that very few human beings have ever experienced outside of dedicated research observatories.

This is also, without modification, a world-class astronomical refractor. Remove the solar module and the LS130MT becomes a 130mm f/7 FLP51 ED triplet — 910mm of premium focal length delivering planetary detail, lunar topography, and deep-sky views that most observers never encounter outside of observatory eyepieces. One instrument. Two disciplines. No compromise in either.

The Solar Experience

Point the LS130MT at the Sun with the LFPT double-stack active and the chromosphere opens up in a way that demands a moment of stillness before you begin observing. The scale of what 130mm of aperture collects — combined with <0.28Å bandpass that strips away everything except the precise hydrogen-alpha signature — produces a view that experienced observers consistently describe as transformational.

Supergranulation cells resolve as a structured, living network rather than a diffuse background texture. Individual intergranular lanes become visible at the boundaries between cells, tracing the magnetic skeleton of the chromosphere. Plage regions surrounding active areas glow with an intensity that reveals their magnetic field concentration — not as a uniform brightness but as a complex, internally structured landscape of knots and threads. Filaments show multiple dark strands with distinct boundaries, suspended above the photosphere in magnetic channels whose geometry becomes legible at this aperture and bandpass. Active regions display their full magnetic architecture — penumbral flows, light bridges, Ellerman bombs — in real time, evolving visibly over the course of a single observing session.

Prominences at 130mm and <0.28Å are extraordinary. Internal threading resolves from base to tip. Flow patterns within prominence plasma become traceable. Structural evolution — the slow rotation of a hedgerow prominence, the accelerating unraveling of an eruptive event — becomes visible on timescales of minutes rather than hours. The Doppler True dual pressure tuning system lets you shift through the hydrogen-alpha line with precision, watching the entire chromospheric landscape respond in real time as you scan from blue wing to red. This is not solar observing. This is solar science.

The Night Experience

Remove the H-alpha module and the LS130MT becomes a different instrument entirely — though no less impressive. The 130mm FLP51 ED triplet at f/7 delivers 910mm of focal length with the colour correction and contrast that serious planetary and deep-sky observers demand. Jupiter's cloud bands and the Great Red Spot in high-contrast colour. Saturn's ring system with Cassini Division resolved on steady nights. The Moon as a geological landscape — crater walls, rilles, and ray systems rendered with the sharpness that only premium apochromatic glass can provide. Globular clusters resolved to their cores. Double stars split at the theoretical limit of the aperture. The same instrument that showed you the chromosphere in extraordinary detail by day reveals the universe in extraordinary detail by night.

Purchased individually, the components of the LS130MT Flagship Kit retail for over $11,300. The Flagship Kit price of $9,995 represents a saving of over $1,300 — everything you need, configured and ready to observe at the highest level.

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Aggressive chewers have met their match.
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
We purchased this toy in 2022, it finally broke last night. Four years of rough play with 2 boxers who are aggressive chewers. They would tug together, gnaw on it for hours, and often leave it outside exposed to the elements, but this toy just kept going. It was by far their favorite toy, it kept them busy for hours. I just ordered a replacement. Well worth the money, perfect size. Highly recommend.

Durable, fun, and safe for my dog
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I have a 10 month old, 50 lb mutt who has the musculature of a pit bull and the muzzle of a GSD. Buttercup’s favorite past-time is shredding toys into teeny tiny bits, but sometimes those bits don’t come back out of her mouth. She can’t have tennis balls, stuffies, anything with a squeaker, silicone toys, plastic toys, rubber toys with spikes or small appendages, anything with rope, or most chews & bones. She chewed her first and only $8+ XL bully stick like a corn chip. Finding indoor enrichment is a challenge. Buttercup is extremely pleased with this tire tug thingy, it is very ergonomic for both her and me to get a handle on it, it has more movement than any other toy she can safely have, and it’s very durable. After more than a week, there’s only a little bit of tread missing, which is definitely the best-case outcome with a super chewer. I think this is a good alternative to GoNut toys because it’s solid & dense while also a little bit easier & more interesting to play with, and very unlike GoNuts, this Tonka toy is very reasonably priced. I also think this it’s a good size for almost any breed of dog—I could definitely picture a little Boston or Frenchie dangling from one end. Highly recommended!

Dog loves it
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I would buy this again and again. It’s extremely durable and has held up great with my 9 month old Saint Bernard puppy. We even call it his “pacifier” because every night he grabs it and chews on it until he falls asleep. Definitely a favorite in our house!

Tough toy, but the yellow tire broke at the seam
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
It was fun while it lasted and it got a lot of use, but it finally gave out after 6+/- months? Great tug toy. My dog is a 70# mutt with a strong bite and he's chewed through pretty much every other toy he's ever had. This one lasted longer than any of the others by quite a bit. He did zero chew damage to the tires, but the yellow tire in the middle broke at the seam. No tear, the seam just came undone at 90 degree angles. I'm going to look for something else this time but this wasn't bad considering how long it lasted and it wasn't very expensive. If I don't find anything tougher, I may purchase another one of these down the road.
