Hi Werner

Try looking up the Stellafane site https://stellafane.org/stellafane-ma...atm/index.html

Plenty of other mirror making and testing sites on the web as well

I have tried to print a ronchi screen on the laser printer. It did not come out as well and everyone that makes a mirror would use a ronchi. Where can I get one at a reasonable cost.
