Hi, I have a 4.5" f7.9 newt, the 1.1" secondary has a blemish from the edge to about 1/4 the width of the mirror.
Am looking for a good quality new mirror, but it seems very difficult to get this exact size (28mm minor axis) I would take anything up to the size of the holder (31mm)and Macgyver (tm) it onto the existing holder.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Martin

Is the problem just the coatings? If it is then just get it re coated.
