The MOSS telescope has a large field of view and is mainly devoted to new minor planets search. The telescope has a 0.50m parabolic prime mirror and is used at prime focus with a Wynne corrector (f3.0). The detector is a ZWO ASI6200MM Pro with the Sony Full-Frame IMX455 (previous Sbig STX16803 with the Kodak KAF16803). Theoretical resolution in BIN1 is 0.52 arcsec/pixel, but normally use with BIN4 that means 2.0 arcsec/pixel. The FOV is 1.38 x 0.92 degrees.

The MOSS telescope is used in remote control. It is operated by the three partners in Morroco, France and Switzerland.
