A parabaloid, that is. Here are the vitals. Her name is Torus/Prospec 18-81-032803. Tori's focal length is 81.9-inches. She has a P-V of 0.154, an RMS of 0.022 and a Strehl ratio of 0.981. Dad is resting well and expects his new baby to arrive home at the end of the month. My observing buddy wants to know, "Does she have a sister?" ;o) Seriously, I just got word from James Mulherin at Torus/Prospec that the mirror selected for my (soon to be completed) 18-inch Obsession is serial number 18-81-032803.
