It seems a few people have the Genesis and are looking for a better focussing solution.
I dealt with Moonlite in the US directly. They offer to manufacture a flange to suit any OTA. They requested I send the TV focussing section over to them to ensure an appropriate adapter, since they didn't have a TV solution on the shelf, but the turn-around was so fast ( a couple of weeks) that I'm guessing one of their standard sizes does suit the Genesis tube.
I got the fine focus option with a focus lock screw as well. It has served te purpose flawlessly. An added bonus was that the flange allows the rest of the focuser to rotate, allowing ease of image rotation without releasing the camera from the drawtube. I also purchased the 2" extension tube, and can focus my Canon and SBIG cameras without need for diagonal. Cost was about uS$45 from memory.
