I've been all around town trying to find the right grit. Knowing that some
of you recommended carbodorum grit 600, I went to a jeweler who just happen
to be an amateur of astronomy who built and polish his own lens. So he sent
me to a few astronomy shop where you buy telescope and they all seem to have
this in stock or at least know about this, unfortunately they did'nt have
any carbodorum at the time.....but that's another source for sure.

The only thing I found for now is aluminum oxide but someone told me that
this is not rated the same way, anyway I bought a small quantity of each
grade they had in stock 80 240 & 400 but I don't know if this would do....so
I ask for help before ruining another glass! Some people told me that it's
easier to work with carbodorum because it stay on the glass longer....but
another one told me that it's a lot coarsier than aluminum and gives a less
uniform finish.......any comment would be appreciated.


Thanks
