astrodon - MegaMOAG

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

The MegaMOAG™ is the largest 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 used on larger telescopes with 4" accessories and
extension tubes. It is a 4"-to-3" version of our popular  MegaMOAG™, where the camera side accepts all 3"
MegaMOAG™ adaptors.  Furthermore,  it retains the thin 1.25" backfocus of MegaMOAG™, and is an ideal choice for
systems having minimal backfocus such astrographs made by Dream Telescopes. It also integrates nicely with the 4" systems at the
back of larger RC Optical Systems Ritchey-Cretien telescopes.
