Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Front Lens Cell (completed - front)

 

Flocked Front Lens Cell - Front side (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

A front view image of the objective's front lens cell as it stands ready to receive the vintage 6" f/10 Jaegers achromatic lens set I purchased from Surplus Shed. The test fit proved very successful and should go just as good when I officially mount the optic.

Note that my method of mounting the objective is different from most. Typically this side of the objective cell is considered the back. But, I decided to do it this way so that I could access to the retaining ring if I should have to make adjustments (tension, rotation, etc.). I patterned the design from the objective cell that came with my Carton 100mm f/13 optic.
