Focault test image

Hello:

Here's a focault test image of a mirror while the scope was pointed at a star. Thus, you don't see the usual donut profile of a paraboloid, and you should see a nice "flat" surface. I'm posting this picture mostly for the amusement of the forum. How much do you figure a mirror like this would be worth?

Cheers
Mike Connelley
