Huh, well that was some fast grinding then, I thought it would take much longer.

OK, so now I need to make a tool and, as you say, carefully try to extend the FL a bit. I am shooting for a long FL on this as I want to be able to get higher magnification without resorting to short FL EP's.

I should also mention it is my plan to flex this mirror into a parabola, per Alan Adler's S&T article, rather than try and figure it.
