Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Focuser Backplate (prep to attach to main tube - 3)

 

Aluminum Tape filler strips to wrap around Focuser Backplate - 5 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

Here the aluminum duct tape has been cut into ten (10) strips, 22.5" long in size, with several already installed to the end of the focuser backplate's rim; a total of five (5) layers in all to this area. This number of layers should be sufficient in filling in the one (1) millimeter gap between the focuser backplate and main tube. I will add the remaining five (5) strips on the opposite side of the threaded mounting holes (used to attached the focuser backplate to the main tube) as seen on the next page.
