Re: [ATM] mirrors

[Richard Ozer <rozer@pacbell.net>]

I've made a 14" mirror out of their material; it is not yet star tested and (obviously) 
not yet in a scope.  The archives have a lengthy thread on this topic (check 2003 and 
2004).  The general consensus is that the material works; most who have used it have an 
acceptable mirror; a couple of people don't like it; and it's generally agreed that 
ASM's manufacturing is a little inconsistent, but not detrimentally so.

In Australia it's difficult to find mirror blanks, most come from overseas and cost a small fortune. Through your links I came across ASM products page and I was wondering if anybody out there had made mirrors using their products and if they hold their shape due to temperature changes. I want to make a 24 inch mirror.
