Moravian's products are developed, designed and manufactured with the focus on performance and quality. All circuit boards used in the cameras are designed and manufactured in-house by Moravian Instruments, with components selected to exploit the full potential of the available performance of modern CMOS image sensors.
Moravian offers a wide range of different versions for every camera model to meet every need. For example, all models from C2 to C5 are equipped with a mechanical shutter and precise regulated cooling. All these models can be connected to external filter wheels, Off-Axis Guiders, various telescope and lens adapters and other accessories. C2 and C3 cameras can be also equipped with internal filter wheel, which makes them very compact, all-containing devices.
The CNC-machined and anodized aluminum housing provides an excellent protection for the sensitive components inside the cameras. The cameras are built to last, whether it’s the usual outside weather conditions of the day-to-day usage or an unlucky accident.
The camera manufacturer supports a wide range of software and operating systems, which means you can continue to use your favorite program. However, if you feel that your choice is missing some features, you can always try the advanced Scientific Image Processing System that is bundled and tested with the cameras for free.
