Hi,
 I've got a 10" f/6 1.6" thick mirror which I am making a cell for. I am planning a 6-point cell, using RTV.
I am thinking of one of two paths:

1. attach mirror directly to support plate with 6 blobs of RTV. 

2. have 3 pivoting bars, each with 2 pads.  RTV the mirror to these pads. The bars would attach to the plate with swivel joints.


  In either case, I would use edge supports .... either RTV or multiple points.  The pivoting bar aproach would be more work.  Does it have any advantage?

  Any opinions on this?

Cheers,
Rob
