USER COMMENTS

"All of my astro photograph with a Moravian G2-8300FW camera are high quality than all my photography in the past. The combination of high quality Newtonian telescope and high-definition CCD camera provides the best resolution."

Tsutomu Chikazawa (Japan)

"Attached are my first light images with the G2-8300 CCD camera. I have to say that I am nothing less than completely impressed not only by how slick the camera looks mechanically but also how quickly I was up and running using the supplied SIMS software."

Robert Knox QLD Australia

"I was keen to see just how quickly I could get a Moravian G2 series camera up and running compared to the usual nightmare driver and compatibility issues often encountered with other cameras. After fitting my LRGB filter set, connecting the USB cable, my computer detected the camera seamlessly and installed the necessary drivers from the CD. After installing SIMS software and having a quick play, I was imaging my first object within 20 minutes out of the box! Setting up the G2-8300 was a breeze!

If you're looking for a simple to use, superior build, high resolution camera with very low noise with a built in filter wheel (avoiding inward focus problems over external wheels) then the G2-8300 FW is a dream camera for amateur and professional astronomers."
