Mirror Breaking Party
of 20 Inch f/5 Obsession
September 9th, 2000

And no, we didn't break any mirrors today but I thought that ground breaking would not be the correct choice of words.

Well, Today was the big day. After ordering my Obsession in mid February and receiving it September 6th, I finally got to put it all together with some help from a few good friends from my astronomy club. Here are some photos of the event held on September 9th, 2000. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

David Segelstein carefully lowers the mirror into the box.
 Notice the use of the cotton gloves from Kodak to keep finger prints off of the mirror.

Setting the mirror down at the bottom of the mirror box. Smile for the camera David!
