Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - OTA Assembly (installation of rear lens cell)

 

Rear Lens Cell installed on Main Tube - 12 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

Moving back to the objective end of the "GJD" brings us to the installation of the objective's rear lens cell. As you can see, the hardware used to attach the rear cell to the main tube also is being utilized to secure the end of the ProtoStar FlockBoard in place. Looking further, despite the fact that you see the bright Vega Blue edge of the painted main tube showing at the end of the flocking material, once the objective is installed, this edge will be hidden, and will not have any effect on the optical path whatsoever.
