MonsterMOAG Off-Axis Guider

MOAG means Manual Off-Axis Guider, a non-moving part of your optical train. 

The MonsterMOAG™ is the intermediate member of our off-axis guider product line.  It is specifically designed to accommodate the larger CCD detectors (36 x 36 mm), such as the Kodak KAF16803E and KAF9000E.  Furthermore, at 1.25", it has thinnest backfocus for an OAG available, making  MonsterMOAG™ an ideal choice for systems with minimal backfocus, such as the Takahashi FSQ refractor. 

There is only one MonsterMOAG™ that has been tested on telescopes/ CCD camera systems under full weight load.   Our MonsterMOAG™ comes with Astrodon quality and support  and a wide array  of Astrodon-designed adaptors.
