Good job.nice that Lunt was very helpful (Meade service would never do this) nice too that the 40 has the etalon and tilt wheel at the front!
@miertjestoer9525 Thanks! I am very happy with Lunt's customer service.
Meade replaced my personal solar telescope that I bought used, free of charge… from a guy who evidently bought it from them in 2016.
Sooooo don’t be so quick to dismiss Meade customer service, it’s great.
thanks for sharing im sure it will help people out
You're welcome Joe 🔭🪐
The Lunt 40 s a complete Lemon. Defective focuser, defective focuser compression ring, change in bg glass compared to the Lunt 35 making the 40 view poor, and now we get defective etalon adjuster wheel. I have a Lunt 40 and am sorry I bought it, its so bad.
Chuck I have to disagree with your assessment of the 40. I am extremely happy with mine.
@@starastronomer Sadly the 40 is an inferior optical setup at f/10, whereas the Lunt 35 is f/11.2. The Lunt 35 performs better. I personally find better image detail in the Lunt 35 as compared to what I see in my 40, even with the 5mm aperture difference.
What does it mean - "lemon"??
@ignatprokhoropchyuck4652 This is a friend of mine. He doesn't like the 40. BUT, he is wrong. It's a great little scope.
@@starastronomer i have Lunt 80 but problems with silicon O-ring in the pressure tube, should remove to new one, ordered in AliAxpress, it becomes a little wider, so reordered again. I can't order the original O-rings, from Russia
I just came across this video. i had the same issue with my lunt 40. I was going to use loctite to secure the threaded pin.
@AD-on4uf Interesting, so this is more than just my scope and could be an issue. Be careful that the Loctite doesn't outgas and affect the lens and coatings. I'd check with Lunt before you do that. Clear skies!

@ignatprokhoropchyuck4652 Interesting....
Good morning my friend, so great to see your Mach2, with the AP Stowaway.
I'm still there with thoughts that maybe I should have bought the Mach2 instead of the 1100.
Now compared with parts of construction or engineering not at the level of quality. Interesting what you do, taking the time to explain is to state your opinion. It would be enough if they are built with a little more criterion, although maybe the cost would be a little more, however in the end you have something perfect.
Wow, you make a great job. Bravo!
Three days ago, something happened to me with the new AP1100, that both in the assembly they didn't pay attention, but I think also in the design, what happened to me, I strongly think, that the AP company, had to think about it. Anyway, I'll write you on Messenger, is I'll send you a couple of pictures so you'll understand me better. Interesting your videos. I watch your videos, I was wondering, if it would be possible, Super, I see just you integrated the possibility to ready the subtitles my two language Germany or Italian thank you. Greetings from Switzerland.. Have one nice day. Ciao (*_*)
What is the issue with your 1100?
1.5mm is also 1/16th I've noticed. I bought the 50mm.
Great video: thank you. Clearly Lunt 'CARES' about its customers: I am now more motivated to purchase this Lunt solar filter and bypass the Daystar unit. Again, thank you.
You're welcome!!! Customer service is very important to me too.
Hello from France .
beautiful refractor and équipement , i have a 180 mm f/d 15 maksutov and a 130mm refractor Apo TS and a 80/600 ed , and a ZWO mount 👍😎 excuse me my english is not to god.....
Hello France 🇫🇷 Thank you! Your English is very good. I could never write anything in French. You too have very good scopes. May your skies be clear 🌟
@@starastronomer thank you very much....
Hello Pascal, is your 180 mm the Sky-Watcher Maksutov? If so is the ZWO mount the AM5? How do you find using the 180 Mak on the AM5? Any balance issues? I have my AM5 mount to the Eagle Pier our Star Astronomer friend is using here shown in the background. It's extremely stable when compared to the ZWO carbon fiber tripod!
How long your 40mm took to get delivered ?
92 days. BUT, I had a longer wait time because of the upgraded focuser.
@@starastronomer thankyou!! Clear skies
@@starastronomer I purchased the 50mm & had to wait 10 months due to the Feather Touch focuser back order issue, Definitely worth the wait!
Where i can barrow an O-ring?
What do you need?
@@starastronomer O-ring on the pressure tube. It is hard to find it
@ignatprokhoropchyuck4652 I would call or email Lunt to get one from them. Or, you could get the proper size of that O-ring from Lunt and buy one locally. Is the scope still in warranty? Then it would be free from Lunt.
@@starastronomer no warranty in my Lunt80
