Mirror Cell - # of points

Posted By Tim Walters

Hi All,
In "The Dobsonian Telescope", the number of support points for a 17.5" x 2" mirror is 9 or 18. Which is the best? I know 18 will support better than 9, but is it overkill?
Thanks,
Tim

Picture/Info Request

Posted By Tim Walters

Hi All,
I'm very interested in the Nightsky/Starmaster type of mirror cells. Apparently, neither company will sell just the cell. Does anyone have any info, or pictures that show the details of the mirror cell (other than what's on the companys' web sites)? If I can't buy one, I can sure make one!
If anyone can help, please email:

TIA!
Tim
