Mirror cell of primary mirror upgraded


The primary mirror cell has been upgraded by Astrosystems Holland. The weakest point were the collimation screws and the lack of springs behind the mirror. This has been corrected by ASH. Also the backplate has been modified so that it can be fitted with a cooling fan. The cooling air is forced around the mirror.
Tomorrow I will pick it up, I am very curious how it looks in real.
