ADVANTAGES OF OUR PARABOLIC TELESCOPE MIRRORS
Making a quality telescope mirror is a complex and delicate process that need highly skilled work from experts in this field.
Our telescope mirrors are made by our own computer-controlled method. In most methods used, the parabolizing tool reaches and stops at a specific area that is selected for processing. Thus, small areas are formed on the surface and it is impossible to obtain a smooth surface. The uniqueness of our method is that during processing the parabolizing tool always passes through the entire surface of the mirror and through all areas. Thus, at each stage of parabolization, a smooth and smoothly changing curve is achieved. The parabolic surface thus achieved at the end is of excellent quality, smooth and without zonal errors. The indicator for quality Strehl is always more than 95%, usually 98% – 99% as you can see here.
Our telescope mirrors are extremely precise made from Borofloat33 and Supremax glass of the German company Schott and accompanied by a certificate from interferometric tests, which ensures a high quality. With a thickness of 25 mm, they are light and have a very short tempering time.

REFIGURING OF FINISHED TELESCOPE MIRRORS
We offer testing and refiguring of finished mirrors. The price depends on the condition and quality of the mirror and the stages to be performed. Sometimes it is necessary to grind, polish and figuring the mirror, sometimes only polish and figuring, and sometimes only figuring. This can be assessed after an interferometric mirror test, which we do before starting.
You can see on the pictures the condition of a refigured mirror before and after processing.
BEFORE REFIGURING
