Re: ATM 12 point mirror cell - examples

Hi Tom
 Great pictures. Balance points are alway interresting.
One thing you haven't shown that might make a slightly
better mount is to offset the inner circle by 20 degrees.
This way, the inner support better matches the unsupported
areas from the outer ring.
