Cellular Mirror Portrait

[COLOR="Purple"]I had the 18.75" cellular mirror out of the scope tonight while I worked on the mirror box. Thought I'd post a pic since I haven't shown the whole thing here before. That's a 6" ruller in the right front of the pic for scale.

[COLOR="Purple"]Here's another angle that shows the center hole in the back plate. That hole is used to keep the mirror centered in the cell and there is a small fan that can blow through the hole to speed cooling of the front plate. Not really necessary but why not go all the way. 8)

Based on the post subject line, for a moment there I thought maybe you had a print-through image of the Virgin or something...

Hi Bill, Is that one of Jean-Guys mirror blanks? It looks just like the 14 inch that I got from him several years ago. Polished out to a sphere, with print through...will be slowly working to correct that this Fall if time permits...

Best Regards,

Preston
