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.
