9-21-04 57% Etalon Tilt

This image was taken with approx 1 full turn of the T-Max thumbwheel from the zero position.
This translates to ~57% of the full range tilt where:

0% = No Tilt = 0 turns of T-Max Thumbwheel
57% = Mid Tilt = 1.00 turn of T-Max Thumbwheel
100% = Full Tilt = 1.75 turns of T-Max Thumbwheel

The disk detail is also better on this image due to excellent seeing conditions which allowed me to use a Cemax 2x barlow in addition to the 12mm Cemax eyepiece.
