Mirror Box cont..
Today, I made the rear panel for the mirror box, cut out a central hole for the cooling fan, then on the inside of the box, I routed a square hole for the 100mm thick mirror to seat into, making it flush with the inside face of the box. Then fitted the rear panel into the rest of the box, marked the holes for the collimation screws and test-fitted the mirror into the box.
A Quick Test...
I set up the secondary cage and the mirror box onto a flat platform, threw in my trusty TeleVue 25mm Plossl, did a quick collimation, and determined the distance between the to main parts, which is 510mm. Focussed on a distant communications tower perfectly!
