Hi there,
I am looking at some options for a primary mirror for a large reflector.
Where do I get information on the longevity of various mirror coatings? Some have "enhanced dielectic" coatings with significant reflectivity, but are these truly durable? Which are generally regarded as the best coatings? Are durability and reflectivity the two major considerations?
Thanks in advance,
Ivan
