[ATM] figuring 10 inch mirror

[Wayne Hilliard <woodycxd@adelphia.net>]

Hi all,
	It's been a while since I posted but have been making slow but steady 
progress in both my mirror tube assembly and learning that I like gugolz 64 
better then burgandy pitch!!
Now for my question. I have been figuring my mirror but have run into a 
problem with my edge. Between using a mix of chordal strokes parabolizing and 
1/3 coc strokes I've reduced my turned edge dramaticly. However I still have 
some left and was wondering. Right now according to tex I'm at 1/4.6 
wavefront at zone 1. If the turned edge is less then the 1/4 wave limit for 
diffraction is it still a problem?

I am going to try to get rid of it completely but was just wondering...

Here's my foucault info for anybody interested.

10.25 mirror diameter
109.125 Radius of curvature
F/D 5.32
1.875 secondary minor axis
7 zones
h(m) info by zone
1.5305
2.4875
3.1405
3.6755
4.1410
4.5590
4.9415

Thanks for any info

Wayne Hilliard
