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

 

ProtoStar FlockBoard Material trimmed and placed back in Main Tube - Down tube view with Focuser Backplate removed and holes cut out around guidescope nuts inside tube - close-up - 15 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

A closer look at the areas I removed patches of flocking material from over the epoxied nuts for the guide scope dovetail bar, as seen from the focuser end of the main tube. Not perfect but effective.

NOTE: As you can clearly see, the patches I cut out revealed the reflective surface of the underlying wall of the main tube. This will be corrected by applying Rustoleum Camouflage flat black paint to flock the exposed areas around the epoxied nuts when I remove the flocking material from the main tube prior to installing the rack mounted baffles.
