    A mirror floating in water will not be strictly horizontal.
    This will depend on the exact shape of the floating pads, and I suppose
    it is impossible to make pads to the required accuracy.
    
    That's why there are mainly two types:
    with mirror standing rigidly on legs and adjusted with bubble levels,
    or using a liquid surface.
    
    But not floating mirrors.
    
    Alex.

    Randy,
    Had you considered putting foam pads on the corners of your fs mirror and letting it float in water?
    The assumption is that the fs mirror is a consistant thickness and the foam 
    pads each would be cut the same size.
    What do you think?

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
