Hmm, I don't think that this accomplishes the same thing. By altering
the tilt of the primary, the cone of light will reflect off the
secondary at a different angle and will no longer be parallel to the
focuser axis. If the secondary tilt is adjusted to compensate, aren't
you essentially back where you started?
