Thats correct- there were thousands of 10" F6 mirrors made by AASC/Astro Optical over a 30 year period by a number of different people some less skilled rthan others. The only way is to know is to get it tested or get it into a tube and star test. If there is a 3 digit number on the back in indelible texta between 001 and 340 it may be one of mine- I still have my notes from my period there.

BTW Bobby , no one on IIS `owes' anyone a satisfactory response on any topic..be grateful that anyone reads your post at all and then you may be pleasantly surprised
