Alan Traino a.traino@luntsolarsystems.com
Anyone who has met Alan at NEAF will instantly appreciate why I
chose to partner with him. Alan's never ending energy and enthusiasm, the
fact that he knows and is very well thought of by the vendors, manufacturers,
and astronomy enthusiasts the world over. The fact that he has the resources to
ensure that the company had a rock solid financial base didn't hurt either.
Markus Ludes m.ludes@luntsolarsystems.com
Over the years I have enjoyed hanging out and discussing
optics with Markus at various astronomy events. His knowledge of optical
systems is a critical key in providing the highest quality Lunt Solar Systems.
I partnered with Markus due to his knowledge of lens and telescope
design, production, and testing. He has the hands on experience and a
worldwide network or vendors and dealers required to be successful in this
business.
Rikki Hocking r.hocking@luntsolarsystems.com
Many may recognize Rikki. She has come on board in the roll
of inside sales, technical sales support, administration, etc, etc, She will
be attending many of the upcoming star parties and is looking forward to
talking with new and former solar enthusiasts about our products and technologies.
Brian Stephens
Brian and I get to continue our quest to see who can make the
most etalons ever (solar filters). Having 4 years of experience in this area
he is a valuable asset because of his talent for assembling, repairing, and
troubleshooting etalon systems.
