Hi Marc

The only reason I had to remove various components is due to my Moonlite having a fixed flange and a long motor drive shaft extending out of the focuser body.


I could not screw the flange onto the Mewlon rear thread, without the motor shaft fouling both the eyepiece and focuser knob.

It looks like the current series of Moonlite Focusers have a 2-part flange; a component that you can screw onto the Tak rear thread, then the focuser body which clamps on, presumably rotatable and secured by grub screws?

I wish mine would have had that design.

Cheers

Dennis
