There was a fundimental error in the math i used on the spreadsheat i made.
After a quick review of the Rayleigh Standard...i found the problem i
hope...(this is only the third mirror i've ever worked on, and i've only
finished one. Its not like i use this math everyday.)...I was multiplying
the wrong number by .25 i think. I have since made some corrections...the
numbers seem a lot smaller, and there for less room for error.....but it
would be handy if someone could check my math. I've posted the file at
http://mysite.verizon.net/cmb15s7x/temp.htm
if anyone has a hankering give it a look.
Thanks to yall who chimed in on the flight of fancy for the cell...I've
looked at plop, but not entirely sure what to make of the output (probably
just a vocabulary problem). I'll play with it some more...it seems like a
great tool, but suppose i didn't have a computer. Anyone know of any
resources that might help me to understand the basics of the
calculations???...so i can do them long hand for giggles....yes i'll
probably screw them up like i did my figuring numbers, but i learn better by
making mistakes.
