I'm slightly puzzled regarding the replies - they suggest to me that the Moonlite focuser attachment method has changed.

I bought a Moonlite dual speed focuser for my Mewlon 210 early this year, and with the adapter from Moonlite it was as easy as unscrewing the Tak backplate and screwing on the Moonlite items.

I definitely did NOT have to play around with the focus mechanism or any other parts of the Tak mechanicals. No grub screws to find or remove or anything else of that sort.

And the system works very well. Because it gives a dual speed focus without moving the primary mirror, focus shifty is eliminated. Just have the mirror settled (counter-clockwise slight focus move) then do everything with the Moonlite.

A very nice improvement to the telescope, and cost me slightly less than Tak's own rack and pinion device. I bought the Moonlite as I expected it to be better than the Tak r&p. It works beautifully.
