Mirror recoating service in Singapore?

Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

Hi,
I just found out that Edmund Optics Singapore Pte Ltd do provide coating services, but I think it is not cheap:
http://www.edmundoptics.com/onlinecatal ... 91&level=2

They also sell mirror (Spherical, Parabolic, etc), but very expensive:

Anyway, they sell quite a lots of optical thing, such as eyepieces, lens, microscope and etc.

Have a nice day.

it's very expensive. I have their catalog which they send me periodically.

Forget about it unless you find prices at Astro Scientific cheap.

Err no..I don't mean Albert does coating. I mean you will find Edmund's stuff cheap only if you think Albert prices are cheap too.

If you check out the prices of Edmund's 6-10" parabolic mirrors, u will faint.
