Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Main Tube (painting complete! - front view)

 

Main Tube painting complete - front view - 10 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

With painting finally complete, here is a front view of the surface of the main tube for the "GJD" refractor telescope. It will remain on the horizontal support tube to cure for several days (rotating halfway daily) before I remove it.

The next step will be to perform a test fit of the tubes and objective cell components that make up the OTA for the 6" f/10 refractor. I can not wait to see how it is going to look!
