The camera and collimator housings, in "[O III] green" (RAL 6016), photos taken at ASTRON by Nigel on May 12 2000.
Image of the 600 g/mm gratings from Richardson Labs (Gabe Bloxham, Sep 21 2000, at MSO).
Upon unpacking (Sep 14) Gabe found cosmetic defects, best described as several visual lines, in same direction as the rulings.
One extends to about 1/2 length of the grating.
Apart from a few small spots, the cosmetic lines are visible, near the left edge
on left grating, and near center on the right grating.
