C5 Camera Overview
[Read: Moravian Instruments astronomical cameras in science]
C5 camera head is designed to be used with or without external filter wheel. The EFW-5XL external filter wheel with 50 × 50 mm filters is suitable for C5A-100M camera only, large sensor C5A-150M model needs EFW-5XL external filter wheel, designed for 65 × 65 mm filters.

Components of C5 Camera system include:
- C5A or C5S camera head
- External Filter Wheel “XL” size
- 7-positions filter wheel for “XL” housing for 50 × 50 mm square filters
Remark: |
- 5-positions filter wheel for “XL” housing for 65 × 65 mm square filters
- Canon EOS bayonet adapter for the “XL” size External Filter Wheel with 44 mm BFD
- M68 × 1 threaded adapter, BFD is 35 mm when mounted directly on camera head and 47.5 mm when mounted on EFW
Remark:
The M68 × 1 adapter is suitable for C5-100M camera with smaller sensor, the C5-150M version should use greater M85 × 1 adapter not to cause vignetting. |
- M85 × 1 threaded adapter, BFD is 31 mm when mounted directly on camera head and 43.5 mm when mounted on EFW
- C5-OAG (Off-Axis Guider Adapter) with M85 × 1 thread for the “XL” size External Filter Wheel with 61.5 mm BFD
- 10 mm long CS-to-1.25" adapter, used to attach CS-mount (C-thread, 12.5 mm BFD) compatible guider cameras to the OAG
- C1 or C0 guider camera
Remark: |
- Note the mechanical constrains of the C5S camera do not allow usage of the C1 camera, only the smaller C0 cameras can be used with C5S models.
- Moravian Camera Ethernet Adapter (x86 CPU)
- Moravian Camera Ethernet Adapter (ARM CPU)
Remark:
The Ethernet Adapter allows connection of up to 4 Cx cameras of any type on the one side and 1 Gbps Ethernet on the other side. This adapter allows access to connected Cx cameras using routable TCP/IP protocol over unlimited distance. |
