Re: [ATM] Crazy simple mirror cell idea

["Mitchell R" <funnybone101@embarqmail.com>]

My only thought is that the friction from the foam on
the base may be uneven,  causing "hang points" which
wouldn't allow the mirror to move during expansion at
those points, thus causing pinch points. This is the
apparent drawback with using silicon glue to hold
mirrors down. It doesn't allow the mirror to move at
those points. My idea would allow movement and equal
friction everywhere (hopefully).

I dunno... anyone done this before?

The mirror will shift collimation dramatically as it is moved up and down
because the mirror weight will shift from the back to the side, compressing
the foam and losing collimation. Will work fine if you only use the scope
straight up ;)
