Re: [ATM] Where to get mirror coated?

[Jim McPherson <jim@eflightproducts.com>]

You are correct. Guy runs the NCA ATM workshop that meets nearly every 
friday night at the Chevy Chase Community Center in D.C. He can 
generally coat your mirror the night you bring it, but you've got to do 
the prep work. I did my 8" mirror there. That said, we won't be meeting 
the next couple of Fridays due to Guy taking a much deserved holiday. 
We'd love to see you after that though!
