Default Is 1/4 wave good enough for a rich field?

I ran into a great deal on a 6" f/4 parabolic mirror. All the stats on it
look good, except that it is a 1/4 wave mirror.

I was raised believing that no less than 1/8 wave will suffice, but how
about a low power rich field scope? The magnification would never be
greater than 40.


I don't know but....if the total correction for the "system" was 1/4 wave,
that wouldn't be too bad at all but...
for the primary itself to be 1/4 wave, it doesn't sound very promising.

Best regards,
Bill
