Re: [ATM] Basic mirror support question...
Besides the ventilation and equilibrium concern, a problem with using
pillows to support a mirror is that the mirror compresses the soft supports
until it is compressed to be rigid enough support the mirror. Then you point
the telescope to another object and by gravity all those pillows readjust to
the forces by either expanding or compressing, meaning the mirror moves in
the cell.
