Lunt Solar Systems will broadcast the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse from Carbondale, Southern Illinois. The Solar Lab will house a 20” Heliostat feeding Sunlight to three 230mm Lunt Solar Telescopes fitted for Hydrogen-alpha, Calcium-k, and White Light
The Sun can be observed with a Lunt Solar Systems hydrogen-alpha telescope that filters out all but one wavelength of red light. An image stacking program called Registax removes a lot of noise caused by Earth’s turbulent atmosphere
The market for solar scopes has steadily grown while the larger telescope market hasn't fared as well and people can watch solar flares leaving the sun in real time. In less than four years, Lunt Solar Systems has gone from about $700,000 in annual sales to more than $5 million
