200-inch Aluminizing - first photos
I have so many photos of the aluminizing I don't know where to start. Here are the dramatic before and after shots of the mirror. As you can see the crew here has done a fantastic job.
It's so great to see that big piece of glass backing in good shape. Take care of that fantastic piece of the history of Astronomy!
