so its a case of specially figured mirrors. though the sums still stand with the square of size for mirrors. Now if only we could figure the mirrors. my idea would be you would either need 3 mirrors with a cassigrain setup or run it like a newt and shoot it out at the side.
I belive that if you configure 3 mirrors in a paraboidal shape and get them shaped following that curve you will essentially have 1 mirror, but split into smaller parts. Collmination would be a little tricky like i originally said but not impossible, understanding the light path will give you the needed techniques as all collmination is doing is making sure the lightpath focus's in the middle of your eye piece/ccd/camera what ever.
I can see after drawing down a mirror that putting 3 paraboidal mirrors would send the light paths in different directions.
Like it was said why should the professionals have all the fun? i think i might start playing! compulsive tinkerererererrrrrrr.
