Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone is interested in starting an 8 inch mirror-making
project at our regular meetings, the next being on Feb 4th. We could start
from scratch using a mirror kit I got from Dan Heim some years ago. The goal
could be to make a dual use scope: an f/4 Newt with a flip mirror diagonal
making it an f/16 Cass. We could do this during our regular monthly meetings
using my grinding machine, which will limit the amount of elbow grease. One
person would tend to the machine. Unfortunately it will make some noise. OR,
we could make something larger like a 10 or 12 inch but we'd need to buy some
glass.

Everyone's welcome, let me know,
Paul Lind
