The best possible surface smoothness and accurate correction are obtained through a series of tests. For final figuring we use the Ross Null Test which employs a certified reference lens. Steve has proven these methods by his years of experience and the many mirrors he has made. Since the Ross Null Test is a null test, we have no zone measurements or certifications available. Your mirror is figured to a smooth null. Experience in the field has shown that this method provides exceptional results, and outstanding views. Our mirrors are well within the diffraction-limited envelope. No inaccurate wave front claims or misleading expectations are made. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Every mirror can be custom-tailored to your specific needs from glass thickness, diameter, focal length, and choice of coatings from Spectrum Coatings up through 24-inch. For the 25-inch we use Intermountain Optics. Delivery time is currently running 120 to 180 days depending on mirror size and backlog of orders.
Below is a table of mirror sizes and prices. Mirror sizes from 12.5" through 24" are offered in 1-5/8" or 2" thickness. We recommend 2" glass for the 25-inch. Feel free to call or e-mail us to discuss any questions you may have.
Prices listed below include shipping within the Continental
