I had something of a spiritual moment in the bathroom tonight. 8O
I gave my 14.5" Zambuto mirror a bath, in preparation for my first trip to the Grand Canyon Star Party next week.
I usually keep it in the mirror cell and place the whole thing in the bottom of the tub.
This time though, I took it out of the cell, since I had to mount one of Floyd's dual fan units anyway.
It was the first time I have had the mirror in my hands, without the cell.
I have to say the mixture of my anticipation of the event, and my appreciation for the fine mirror
I was carefully cleaning, turned what is a fairly mundane task, into quite a special moment for me.
Hope to run into some of you at the North Rim.
I'm really looking forward to this event.

My 16" is due for the collodion scab just before the departure. See you there.

Hi Linton,
Now you can see 2 mags deeper! wink It is amazing how nervous one can get holding that piece of glass, huh? grin
