Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - The Main Tube (cut to proper length!)
 

Main tube being cut to proper size - 12. (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 
Standing proudly on the floor of my garage is the 7" OD x 50" L main tube for the Jaegers 6" f/10 "Gelinda J. Dawson" refractor cut to proper length ready to be drilled and finished to accept the objective cell and focuser backplate, etc. But, before we move forward on those effort, I will be prepping the dew shield first. We will come back to finishing and completing the main tube shortly.
