405mm mirror - lonesome

[Bart]

Made a hames of taking out primary springs do decided to upgrade to Farpoint collimation set. A real pain in the diddle to get the new springs and bolts in as I made the mistake of taking all the originals out. Anyway, seeing as the mirror was out, decided to give it a bit of a clean. Nothing major, just tap water with washing liquid run over it, no physical washing, finished off with purified water to rinse. Got the new bolts in, a real hassle with the weight of the 405mm mirror. Just thought I'd post a picture of the mirror for size against the regulation tin of beans.

Only joking, that's a mini tin of beans, this is a regular size tin of beans.

Still big though.

Here's another with mirror with big and small bean tin.

Bit of fun, sorry
