regarding mirror clasps and pinched optics - My mate uses silicon to embed the secondary onto the holder - no clasps - I havent seen any problems with that method in ten years of usage.
I am taking some shots presently will post em here then.
As a humorous story regarding pinched optics - my first scope nearly 11 years ago was a department store plastic optics coat hanger refractor on a EQ (and then followed by a classic tasco 4.5") - when you did a star test the airy disc was a perfect triangle!
Cheers
