Tilting the etalons??

Paul,
Just read your comments _
"The band adjuster is there but it does not rely on a pivot point to center like the Coronado's. This means theoretically that contrast should be better overall."
I'm sure it must tilt the etalon somehow to get on/ off the band; the internal etalon is not much bigger than the one in a PST.
The SM60 is completely different in that it has a full aperture etalon up front. Obviously the double stack puts a second "full size" etalon in the train, but again this to must be "adjusted"
Can you explain your thoughts on the contrast issue?
For what it is I think the Lunt should give good views and certainly good bang per buck.
