ATM 6" FIXED




Hello,

A lot of you guys thought that my 6" mirror was stressed.  Last night I had 
finished polishing it even though it was sphere and had TDE.  Last night had 
clouds but I saw a few stars and Jupiter and Saturn.  I pointed my scope and 
looked at a star!  I was so relieved because the star was pinpoint and looked 
very good.  Then I went to Jupiter and saw 3 moons and 2 cloud belts even 
though it is unaluminized!!!! This I know it has NO STRESS and now has NO 
ASTIGMATISM!!!  I am so glad and  soon will finish figuring and parabolizing. 
 Also I need help on how to determine its final wave accuracy?  How is this 
done?
Thanks for all who helped but indeed it had no stress and after turning 
mirror and tool  very often it totally eliminated astig.
