Comment from Theo: This still seems very low, but I can't fault the math. How does this compare with the estimates contained in the proposal itself? Steve, can you remind us of where the original estimates came from? Clearly, we will need all of the visible light for this.\\ | Comment from Theo: This still seems very low, but I can't fault the math.

I see from TR91 that the visible reflectance for old aluminum was extrapolated from much to the red, and also the comment that cleaning techniques can bring old aluminum reflectivity to near the new value. After some hunting, I found something more direct on this. I'm attaching a spreadsheet made at Kitt Peak when monitoring telescope primaries. I see that the reflectivity does seem to stabilize at considerably better than the " | I see from TR91 that the visible reflectance for old aluminum was extrapolated from much to the red, and also the comment that cleaning techniques can bring old aluminum reflectivity to near the new value.

I agree. I measured reflectivity of ridiculously old and dirty aluminum coatings at iota with better values than that. I will have to dig out my iota memo...\\ | I agree.
