[AZ-Observing] Re: mirror re-coating

Stan,

Some companies include Spectrum, at
http://www.spectrum-coatings.com/telescop.htm#Telescope%20Mirrors

Clausing, at

http://www.clausing.com/

and Bob Fies, at

http://home.covad.net/~alcoat/

Bob Fies is less than half the price of the first two. Figure
~$10 per inch for Spectrum or Clausing. I recently had my 14"
mirror coated by Bob, and am satisfied. However, Mr Fies only
offers 89% AlSiO while Spectrum and Clausing offer exotic 
high reflectance coatings like Diamond-Brite (Clausing).

Subject: [AZ-Observing] mirror re-coating


Hey all,
I have a student who is looking to get back into astronomy. He was a
machinist for meade for a long time and has a 9" mirror that needs to be
re-aluminized. Does anyone have a good source for having this done.
Thanks
