Hello Stephan, could you tell us what chemicals you use to silver your mirror. I got mine aluminized and as I now have another two mirrors in the pipeline, I might save some money using your method. Incidently, we had a still night in Sydney in May and I could see Saturn at 850x with near perfect clarity. I never thought my mirror would be capable of that, but it taught me the futility of trying to do any testing outside in Sydney, as nearly all evenings must be sky limited, as Saturn normally looks much blurrier. Anyway your coating looks great in the pic, so how is the view..
Frank
