I received the Zygo test of the diagonal mirror which was rated at 1/20 th wave at purchase. Can the optical pundits comment what they see ?
The edge defects (left) are from the silver layer corrosion.
Edit add-on: my take is that there is a middle zone ca. 1" long which falls into the 1/20th wave (0.05) when I look on the surface profile. So I would say not so super bad as I understood initially when one considers that just center of the mirror would be used (in contrary to a diagonal in a reflector).
Still, with $50 asked for recoating, I can better go for a new $58 dielectric 1/10 wave glass from WO...
