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.

Dennis,
Is your Moonlite an older version? The designs have changed over time particularly with the motor options which in the past have been long cylindrical housings but which are now shorter thicker square housings.
My Moonlites, which are relatively new (one for an SCT and one for a refractor) also both came with interchangeable flanges.
