Re: [ATM] RE: Figure Stroke 8 inch



You're at the point where you should be building the rest of the telescope
and testing what the mirror looks like on some stars, etc.
You are at about 1/6th wave which many professional mirrors are stopped but
you will probably only need a few more strokes.  It kind of looks like a
hole in the middle a bit if I read things right so you are going to have to
work the 70% zone down a little to get things right.  Do only about 10-20
strokes max. at a time and keep testing and you will see a wonderful mirror
appear shortly.
