| Dall-Kirkham Primary Mirror Testing
Forum List | Follow Ups | Post Message | Back to Thread Topics Posted by Andre Burger/">Andre Burger on May 14, 1999 12:55:18 UTC |
I am in the process of polishing a 200mm / f2.47 primary mirror for my Dall-Kirkham telescope. Can anyone give me advise on how to test & figure this mirror properly. I have built a Foucault tester and derived formulae to correct for off-axis abberation - ie. the distance between source & image formation of the light source (foucault tester). Any comments and/or advise will be appreciated. |
