Re: [ATM] data and musings on thin mirror

Ok, I think I got a little carried away and as an
experiment it has been wonderful.  We all like a
mirror to be perfect.  They seldom are.  Not all are
used right away in telescopes.  As an engineer I am
use to doing things by progressive iteration.  I did
not realize that was the case here as well.

Next he needs to learn how to test so that he can
control the figure if it is possible.
