Sure, and there's a subset of moral realism that asserts that moral facts must be of a particularly specified objectivity - for example, those which could be supported by scientific conclusions and experiments.
@Ham
There may be more than one accurate definition of morality, pertaining to more than one morally relevant set of propositions or axioms. This is called moral pluralism. Under this view, the term "morality" is a general header for many related subsets of x. So there's not really any need to determine which is true, between them, it could be a malformed question.
