Thanks Bojan, and I respect your comments.
I have emailed Peter Waddell and have asked a few critical, straight to the point questions regarding the curve and whether it's suitable for a telescope mirror.
Also questioned was the surface quality/accuracy of the Mylar, and whether the mirror housing construction can be simplified without massive industrial machining costs.
I stated that if this was at all possible, a large mirror was in consideration, not a small one, otherwise purchasing the real thing would be a better alternative.
I hope he replies..........with good news, not bad.
I'm not expecting to hear anything positive some how.Either way, I'll report my findings to the forum just the same
Rob.
