COVID-19 UPDATE

PLEASE READ IT! IMPORTANT! COVID-19 and STOCK AVAILABITITY INFO:

Please note that currently we receive about 10 times more phone calls, 3-4 times as many emails, orders etc. whilst we work with reduced staff, so please be patient.

BRESSER, EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC, LUNT and VIXEN products: whilst we do stock some of these products, in many cases we would rely on the distributor's stock. Their warehouse is in Germany and currently the delivery times are about 7-10 days from there, although this is not exactly a promise. Brexit caused lots of problems and huge delays generally. We expect that it will take several months till the situation will improve. 
SKYWATCHER, Helios, Zenith and OVL Products: we will not accept any orders on backorder for these products until further notice due to price change. We were advised that the weak USD caused increase of product prices in China, plus shipping costs increased by 600%, so we expect a new pricelist with increased prices shortly. 

PLEASE CONTACT US TO CHECK CURRENT AVAILABILITY BEFORE YOU ORDER ANY SKYWATCHER, CELESTRON, OVL, BAADER, BRESSER, LUNT, TS and ZWO PRODUCTS (and possibly some others as well), AS STOCK LEVELS FLUCTUATE AND WE JUST CANNOT UPDATE THE LEVELS IN REAL TIME...

If you have an urgent inquiry, please call Zoltan on his mobile during working hours (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm)

Please send a text or WhatsApp message to Zoltan ONLY if you failed to call him or if it is extremely urgent. His mobile has been flooded with messages as well...

Thanks for your patience!

Keep safe and healthy!

 

sidenote... TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS!

EU CUSTOMERS: We have temporarily disabled European destinations whilst we adjust our system to the new VAT rules. Hopefully we'll be able to resume shipments to EU countries soon.

USA CUSTOMERS: shipping to the USA is active again, but we request customers to confirm product availability before placing an order! If you are ordering an MGEN-3, no need to check stock, we've got plenty of those. Please note, we will try to avoid sending goods via a postal service due to the huge delays and as DHL Express is more expensive than our system would currently charge for, we might have to charge extra depending on the value and size of the ordered goods.

Please note, due to the increased number if issues with postal services to most directions (especially Australia, Canada etc), we will only ship to these countries on the base of special request and depending on the value and size of the products. This is a temporary measure and we hope to supply worldwide again as soon as the situation improves. 

SHIPMENTS TO THE UK ARE NOT AFFECTED!

Thanks for your understanding. Zoltan T., owner

Moravian Instruments G2 CCD

Moravian Instruments G2 CCD

Every year you can come and see some of these great Moravian Instruments CCD cameras that we would usually showcase at the International Astronomy Show, the European Astrofest, the Herstmonceux Astronomy Festival and other local events.  The international Astronomy Show usually take place in the beginning or middle of October at Stonleigh Park (near Leamington Spa, Warwich and Coventry), the European Astrofest in the beginning of February at the Kensington Town Hall and the Herstmonceux Astronomy Festival at the "The Observatory Science Center" (former Royal Observatory).



G2 cameras were designed for demanding scientific applications and for high-end astrophotography. Very high quantum efficiency (more than 85% in the case of G2-3200 camera) allows capturing of very faint objects. High quality electronics provides uniform images without artifacts and the read noise is limited by the CCD detectors themselves. Regulated cooling of CCD up to 50ºC below ambient temperature significantly reduces detector dark current. Cameras have integrated filter wheel with 5 positions for 1.25" filters in threated cells or with 6 positions for glass-only filters and mechanical shutter.



G2-0400, G2-1600 and G2-3200 cameras with non-ABG Kodak KAF CCD chips are suitable for scientific applications, requiring both high quantum efficiency and linear response to light.

G2-2000 and G2-4000 cameras with Kodak KAI CCD chips with ABG are suitable for astrophotography—anti-blooming of KAI CCDs eliminates charge blooming when bright stars appear in the field of view.

G2-8300 is our bestseller camera with Kodak KAF CCD with ABG, also suitable for astrophotography, especially in combination with telescopes with shorter focal length due to small pixels and large resolution. Not surprisingly most of the published photos were made by these cameras. It is also HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Nik Szymanek in his Review written for the Astronomy Now magazine.
