Acuter LUMA-X 40ED H-Alpha solar telescope
Acuter is a world-leading brand of innovative, high-quality products for amateur astronomy and educational use.
The revolutionary Acuter Luma-X 40ED represents a remarkable level of specification and performance at an affordable price. It features groundbreaking, world-first innovations such as a square telescope tube design and an exclusive switchable star diagonal, allowing you to switch from an H-alpha prominence telescope to a white light solar telescope for observing sunspots. The telescope incorporates an ED glass element, which enhances sharpness and contrast, as well as color fidelity and detail rendition.
The Acuter Luma-X 40ED is a safe solar telescope equipped with a 40mm front etalon with a bandwidth of 0.6 angstroms or better for observing active solar prominences and other solar surface details in the H-alpha band.
Observing the Sun in the narrow H-alpha band will reward you with stunning, breathtaking, and majestic real-time views of our nearest star, revealing magnificent details such as solar flares, prominences, spicules, granulation, sunspots, and more!
A universal smartphone camera adapter is included to capture your observations.
The Acuter Luma-X 40ED meets the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2:2015 (filters for direct observation of the Sun). Always follow the instructions in the manual.
