In my Moonlite focuser, the brass compression ring seems to just teeter on the edge of the undercut (of a different make/model adapter) and causes some wobble, so I’ve had to remove the brass compression ring and get a longer 2” barrel for some of my accessories.

Thanks for the chins up, seems like it's always hard to get all the goodies in the one package!

Delivered price wise they're about the same, so as I'll have a delicate camera hanging off the 647, probably a good idea to have the undercut, as I'm not the most thorough of grub screw tighteners
