Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Main Tube (ProtoStar FlockBoard cut & fitted - 3)

 

ProtoStar FlockBoard Material trimmed and placed back in Main Tube - Down tube view - 12 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

This is a look down the main tube showing how nicely the two edges come together to form a near seamless butt joint of the ProtoStar FlockBoard.

Later Installation of the knife-edge baffles will effectively hold the flocking material in place in the main tube, except at the objective and focuser ends. To secure the flocking material at both of these ends, I will use pieces of double-sided automotive tape to hold down the edge ends, which should prove quite effective.
