Howvever, it DEFINATELY follows a PARABOLA with only a slight deviation........a deeper curve which ends up meeting the ideal parabola in the centre.
So, is this a hyperbola?
Can this be used for astronomy?

No ...just me using RC's for too long
....I should have typed
Parabola.....but I still understand the same problem applies....vacuum deformed Mylar is too steep at the edges and not enough in the centre
A hair's width will do it...just talk to the Hubble team
It would also be interesting to see how the system handles wind gusts
