The thing though is with K-Astec, the tilt adjuster comes in both M54 and M48. However until we get to see Peter's photos for confirmation), I'm told the SilverCat 51 at least is using the M54 version. However I'm not certain how a M48 filter would fit in.
Actually I tend to have the IDAS 52mm filters anyway therefore I'd need some kinda custom adapter to accommodate that.

I got a tilt adapter from Teleskop Services.It screws onto the M48 rear thread. Unfortunately the lens would no longer come to focus.The main difference seems to be they have removed a back piece that rotates and the tilt adapter takes its place with a ring that packs it out to the right length as before. WO have already told me I can buy these accessories in October. So if you get an original model you can get those additional parts.
Cyclops Optics also can sell these extra bits.
I was getting good results without the tilt/tip adjuster but careful pixel peeping showed there was some tilt present so its definitely a good thing to have that ability to adjust for tilt.
