Re: building a parabolic with mirrors.

well I stated testing the focal length some mirrors.

for test I have

12 X 12
6X6
4X4
2X2
1X1

I only got to run a few tests then the clouds rolled in
I placed a mirror at each distance at the same time and lined up the reflection side by side so I could compair each of them

2x2 test
12 feet full on blur
9 feet blur
7.5 a little blur around the edge
6 feet sharper
3 feet sharp and clear
2 feet very clear

Im sure some ninja has already come up with a forumal, I just have not one yet.

if the sun comes out again i will get some run. I want to try 2.5 and 1 foot
