Meade's 10" Dob Mirror Cell

Hello Hello A-Marters!

Soon I will be aquiring a Meade 10" Starfinder. The seller says that the Meade mirror cells are basically pieces of plywood. Could anyone supply me with an image so I know hwat I'm getting myself into?

Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with plywood for mirror cells up to 12.5" and even bigger with thin mirrors. The key is to ensure they aren't warped and that is aided by sealing them with several coats of polyurethane and then painting flat black. Richard Berry's book on building telescopes has several items made from plywood including mirror cells.
