    Hello all again,

             I have made my own spider out of extruded aluminum 1"x 1/16"
thick. My question to the list
is if my spider veins are not at  90 degree angles does this cause an image
problem. My anchoring
position is more like a squashed X.    I have seen curved spiders, but I
don't see how any tension
can be applied. I have heard that the diffraction spikes are eliminated by
the curved supports.
         Am I clogging areas by squashing my supports.. Here are the
dimensions
   Diameter of cage.... (9.5")
  The "X" is squashed to 4.5" between supports on each side
leaving  about
11" (on the diameter
measurement) on the opposite gap..something like this........
