ATM Best Sources for Mirror Kits, Supplies

["joeshep" <joeshep@mindspring.com>]

Greetings All!

Our local astronomy club has a new ATM division with around 30 people 
participating in some way thus far.  From surveys at our first 
three meeitngs I have discovered at least ten people serious about 
grinding mirrors (a couple already have blanks and supplies).  I'd 
like to know, based on your experiences, the best suppliers for 
abrasives, mirror blanks/tools, pitch, etc.  Most of the mirrors will 
be in the 8" or 10" range.  I was also intersted in a supplier that 
would offer a discount if from 6 to 10 kits were ordered.  Thanks in 
advance for your advice.

Clear Skies,
