Thanks for chiming in, guys -- I am glad that other people have found Moonlite to be similarly pleasing to deal with.

Alistair -- I believe I had the same issue with my 2" Skywatcher focuser, a slight tilt that became only worse after installing their focuser motor. Although there are a few hex screws that can be adjusted, it was asking too much from the Skywatcher focuser considering the load I was trying to have it bear.

I've attached an image of the compression ring you asked about. I notice you've got AO (I'm assuming it's AO and not just an OAG) and filter wheel happening there alongside your camera. I'm hoping the Moonlite has enough travel to allow me to add those to my own setup in the coming weeks.

A few people have questioned my motivations for wanting to do so on a low-end refractor such as this one, but I like it and I want to get the most out of it. I'm hoping AO will help at 1800mm and 3600mm focal lengths.

Cheers,
Brett
