Well, not really, since I had already started working on it some. Here's where I attempted it a while back, if anyone cares to wade through the mess. I put most of my earlier calculations in ATM when I wasn't so much asking a question but wanted help and verification when working something out. One might start toward the end and work their way backwards or something. I had a couple of mistakes approximating in the beginning. In any case, I'll try to find a simpler method that I can post here for just the magnification.
