I have been toying with the idea of building a telescope, and have looked high and low on the net (found the ATM Web pages, etc) and found lots of great info! But one question still lingers, what is the cost of the mirror in a Newt? I have seen prices for completed mirrors, but none on a blank. What does it cost to grind your own mirror? I have a 6 inch Newt right now, what does a 8" or 10" blank and supplies run? I have a fair idea about the rest of the parts, but not the main mirror.

Any help in ATM land???

Thanks for any insight.
