I've been polishing my 8" mirror with CeO and it looks done to me. I've only been polishing for 5 - 6 hours, so I'm skeptical about my conclusion (although I did finish grinding using 5 micron aluminum oxide). I've tried focusing a spot of sunlight on the mirror surface and also looked at a small intense light and these both look fine to me. I don't understand how to use a loupe to view the filament reflection in the surface - physically I can't get this to work.

The mirror looks pretty close to spherical in my Foucault tester. Is there someone in the vicinity of Providence, RI who would be willing to take a look if I brought the mirror to you? Are there any ATMs associated with Brown University? Thanks.
