CREATION OF A PARABOLIC MIRROR 410 mm f/4.5 – PARABOLIZATION
After bringing the mirror to the sphere, the moment of parabolization has arrived, which in many respects is perhaps the most delicate phase of the entire process.
CREATION OF A PARABOLIC MIRROR 410 mm f/4.5 – REACHING THE SPHERE
The mirror processing was carried out with a mirror-o-matic type machine, characterized by a rotating table and an oscillating arm on which the tool is fixed.
CREATION OF A PARABOLIC MIRROR 410 mm f/4.5 – Initial stages and blank control
In these chapters I will describe the phases that led me to the creation of a parabolic mirror 410 mm f/4.5, focusing first on the phases that led me to create a good spherical surface
Mirror 610 F3 meniscus
The manufacturing phases of a meniscus parabolic mirror 610 mm in diameter and 20 mm thick, focus 1770 mm with focal ratio of F3.

Building a Ritchey-Chretien: preconditions
And, it's possible to do it (*) by manually working the optics and you don't need special equipment or more sophisticated than what we normally use for the construction of a parabolic mirror but, let us now, to embark on such an adventure necessarily have to have more than one working behind, to understand how to generate two hyperbolic surfaces, and
