I started a new thread, cause the old one ( http://www.astromart.com/forums/viewpost.asp?forum_post_id=387189&poll_id=&news_id=&page=2 ) became monstrous.
I did additional 10x 5min stroke / 5 min press and retested the mirror. I attached some pics - I think I am getting better at a camera setup, but I got still some misalignment.
I didn't notice any radical changes neither in a shape nor in a surface smoothness. :S I am a little bit concerned about my new CEO. The old one I was working with was pinkish, this one is rather white with light 'touch of pink' :S Does it tell something about the actual size or compounds? I also noticed that this one can be suspended better in water while the old one quite quickly settled down.
