Here are the results of Sixtests as I ran it.

Figuring guru's.  Aditya needs advice.  He is working a thin mirror and
prefers to keep MOT to help avoid astigmatism.  What is is best bet for
stroke.  (I think he is using a full sixed lap.

I will venture one piece of figuring advice.  Bite off small chunks.  Work
at most 10 minutes at a time, using slow steady stroking.  This mirror is
not bad already, it would be easy to make it worse.  Making it better can
certainly be done, but is best approached cautiously.  Short polishing
sessions with much measurement in between is the order of the day.  Best to
creep up on a good figure in small steps rather than try too much and end
up farther off.
