Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Focuser Support/ Collimation Ring (completed)

 

Painted Focuser Backplate Collimation Ring - Close-up (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

Flocked and painted, here is the focuser support/ collimation ring. It is complete and will be ready to mount once cured fully. Like the objective collimation cell, this piece was designed to allow angler floatation of the focuser to align it to the objective. This will be achieved by utilizing the typical push-pull systems commonly used on objective cell of today; with thosely similar placed threaded and unthreaded holes paired in three groups spaced at a 120-degree angle from one another. In addition, check out the lateral holes drilled in the sides of the component that will be used for the attachment of the GSO 2" Dual-Speed Crayford focuser. Once again, Eric's craftsmanship and precision are off the chain!
