Hi,

wondering what the current starte of the art is with flex mirrors?

Has anyone completed one successfully? I haven't been able to find any web pages of atm's that have completed one.

I am also wondering whether it would be possible to flex a sphere into a hyperbola - I am looking at making the 8" astrograph in dec 1996 sky and tel which uses an f4.5 hyperbola and correcting lens for a 4 degree field of view at f3.6. Flexing would make it an easy all spherical project.....

cheers
Gary
