Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
To solve the lighting issue a beam splitter would work well, that way the light can be directed straight onto the widow and would not get in the way of the camera- In person
Risks and Areas of Concern
Camera mounts- how to fit the camera into the center with flexures.
Lighting Mounts- where and how
Mirror mounts- placement and rigidity. Make sure vibration doesn't break the mirror.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
