Details
MOAG stands for Manual Off-Axis Guider and is a non-moving part of your optical train.
The MonsterMOAGâ„¢ is the intermediate member of our off-axis guider product line. It is designed to accommodate the larger CCD detectors (36 x 36 mm), such as the Kodak KAF16803E and KAF9000E. Furthermore, at 1.25in., it has thinnest backfocus for an OAG available, making MonsterMOAGâ„¢ an ideal choice for systems with minimal backfocus, for example the Takahashi FSQ refractor.
There is only one MonsterMOAGâ„¢ that has been tested on telescopes/ CCD camera systems under full weight load. Our MonsterMOAGâ„¢ comes with Astrodon quality and support and a wide array of Astrodon-designed adaptors.
GOALS
* For largest CCDs (KAF16803, KAF9000)
* Smallest backfocus 1.25in.
* Large central opening of 2.55in.
* Guide in front of your filters
* More guide stars with unfiltered light
* Guide in the main optical beam
* Avoid differential flexture and cost of guide scope
* Fixed guider position for automated data acquisition
FEATURES
* Solid body for no flexure
* Helical focuser for easy focusing of guide camera
* Short, manual 1.25in. camera holder also included
* Additional prism spacers included
* These provide maximum flexibility to come to focus
* M/F AP 2.7in.-24TPI dovetail adaptors included
* Female 2.7in., also has 3in. male for CFWs
* Dovetail connectors to align with camera and telescope
* Low reflectivity inner surfaces
* Wide variety of adaptors
