AstroFest Mirror Silvering --

Val Germann

Not knowing when to quit, Mark Russell and I are
looking into silvering this spherical marvel we are
going to make at AstroFest -- on the spot.  Are the
prices we see on silver nitrate really that high?
Are there any more efficient chemical processes than
the standard Brashear, etc., methods?  I guess if
there were we would know about it by now, huh?

If anyone has 30 grams or so of silver nitrate they
would like to donate to a good cause we would
certainly accept it.  We would be careful and not
blow ourselves, and our assistants, to Kingdom Come.
At least, I don't think so!
