Hi Alan,

It's a very impressive looking instrument.  I was particularly intersted because I have just completed a partial re-build of my 12 inch F5.  I was interested in your mirror cell design.  I am planning something similar but I was going to use silicone.  Have you had any problems with the double sided tape?  I would worry about it holding the mirror securely.

I have cool down issues with my mirror too: it is 2 inches thick.  My next project will be to install fans.
