Re: [ATM] how to install the secondary mirror to 45degree holder

["Bob May" <rmay@nethere.com>]

Anybody on the list can answer that question, no need to add4ress
me in particular.
The typical nmethod most of us use is to put 3 blobs of RTV
adhesive on the secondary mount and push the secondary mirror on
and hold it in place until the adhesive is set.  If the mounting
is hollow, then put a block of wood inside or other such material
and then glue it on.
Other methode do end up being a bit more involved as you would
need to enlarge the holder and roll the edge ovber a bit and then
put the secondary inside of the tube.  This older method does run
the ristk of causing the bending of the glass if you put too much
pressure on the backside of the secondary to hold it in placc.
