Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - OTA Assembly (ready for the front lens cell)

 

OTA assembly ready to receive the Front Lens Cell mounted with objective - 13 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

Here is an image of the Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" refractor OTA as it stands on its rear lens cell and begins to take on a look of a true astronomical telescopic instrument. The next major step in the build is to install the front lens cell, which will be supporting the Jaegers 6" f/10 achromatic objective lens I purchased from Surplus Shed.

Speaking of the objective, the next collection of pages will concentrate on preparing and mounting it in the front lens cell.
