[ATM] Bench star test

[Dale Eason <atmpob@yahoo.com>]

I tried what is for me a new way to star test and then
compared it to my simulated star test from
interferometry data.  The mirror is an 8 inch with ROC
of 119 inches.

The bench star test was done at ROC using a red laser
diode with the lens removed to make a point source
light.  The detector was a Philips web cam with the
lens removed.

The red image is the laser and web cam.  The black and
white image is the simulated version from
interferometry data.

I think the laser point source and web cam show
promise.
