The LS40F brings hydrogen-alpha solar observing within reach. This 40mm front-mounted etalon converts your existing refractor into a capable solar telescope, revealing prominences, filaments, active regions, and chromospheric detail at a price point that makes H-alpha accessible.
The LS40F uses a center-supported etalon design—an approach with proven heritage in solar filtration—paired with precision tilt tuning for smooth wavelength control. The design delivers a <0.65 angstrom bandpass: tight enough for rewarding views of solar activity, and an excellent foundation for observers ready to explore the chromosphere.
Each system ships complete with a B1200 blocking filter (6mm clear aperture, for focal lengths up to 540mm) and a custom adapter plate machined to fit your telescope. Provide your objective cell diameter when ordering, and we'll include the correct adapter at no charge—accommodating refractors with objective housings up to 4 inches.
Remove the system in seconds to return your refractor to nighttime duty.
Technical Note: This system is designed with a center-mounted foot to support the etalon. Consequently, the filter is center-obstructed.
Specifications:
- 40mm etalon with center-supported design (Note: Filter is center-obstructed)
- <0.65 angstrom bandpass (H-alpha, 656.28nm)
- Tilt-tuned wavelength control
- B1200 blocking filter included (6mm CA, up to 540mm FL)
- Custom adapter plate included (up to 4" objective cells—specify diameter at checkout)
- Visual and imaging capable
