This gives me an idea, unusual  :)

How about an air cushion for a mirror support ?

Literally an infinity of self adjusting points, something to give Plop
a good time to evaluate  :)

The mirror "support" could be made of cast material, such as plaster
with a multitude of small holes, like an air table...

Would also be great to thermal equilibrate the mirror !

I can hear the noise of all those compressors at star parties  :))

Does it hold air ?

p.s. as a maker of fused lightweight mirrors, i have a sudden apprehension....
