Re: [ATM] RC Multiple primaries and a single seconday

["Jerry" <wa4guu@verizon.net>]

NO!  The easiest way is to make the large hyperbola and place a mask with
the openings for the several "smaller" apertures in front of it. Or you
could paint over the parts of the larger mirror that you do not want.

This way alignment of the multiple primaries is made easy.

Yeppie, it's quite possible.  Easiest way is to make a large
hyperboloid for the RC and then cut out the 3 sections you want
for mirrors and then mount them precisely so that they're close
to each other in pointing to the secondary
