Fred > Yes, rear-coated mirrors give > multiple images, but they are easy to distinguish. I use an Astra IIIB deluxe, with a traditional (split) rear-silvered horizon mirror and front-silvered index mirror. I have not noticed this phenomena. My understanding is that if you have a front-silvered horizon mirror the glass may be omitted on the direct-view portion so refraction differences are not a problem. Would you please give and example or two, what to look for, and the reasons?
