[SJAAboard] Scope 26 (stucco scope) mirror

[Rob Hawley]

>Is there another option?  (within reason)

Not really.  I figured I could rebuild it by taking the optics and wrapping
it in a new lightweight design. A nice project for next summer. After
looking at the mirror, it is simply not worth the effort.  The mirror needs
to be realuminized.  Even after doing that I am not sure how I would mount
the mirror due to its unusual shape.

The OTA has been leaking spiders (4 so far that I know about) so it is
currently outside the house.

I will slavage all of the optics, but I prefer to send the OTA to the dump
on Friday.

I will update the loaner site tomorrow to remove 26 and 38.  I am still
talking to Rich about 19.  If the OTA is good we might get a better GEM for
it.
