Get a catalog from Willmann-Bell (on the web) and get one of the books listed in there. There's about 4 or 5 different ones. The book by Texerau is a good one but there are others also. You can also buy a kit for the primary mirror with them. You can expect to spend 60-80 hours or more grinding, polishing and figuring your primary mirror alone. More time if a bigger mirror and a little less if the mirror is smaller. P.S. If I wrote to you personally, then nobody else would know what the answer to thier version of the question was and they'd all lose out. |
