There will be a workshop this coming Tuesday, June4th. Bill, could we have the gate open please? Thank you! I hope to be there this week with my 16" glass. I hope to get some grinding done this week and measure the sagitta.      [ http://stellafane.org/tm/atm/grind/measure.html  ]                                  Also, we have inherited a 8" mirror that is almost or half way(?) complete. The donor only asks that we show him the finished scope some time. I am hoping to make this a "class" project we can all work on. I do not know yet if a tool comes with it or we may have to make one and break it in.  In the end we will pick a worthy person to own this scope. ( I do have someone in mind). I will get a consensus at our meeting this week. Please come on over to the Broder if you get a chance. The class has been coming along nicely of late. I do hope you will join us. We start at 7:30 and go till 9 or a little later. T
