Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - OTA Assembly (mounted objective lens - 2)

 

6" inch f/10 Jaegers Objective mounted in Front Lens Cell - Above View - 27 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

This is a view from directly above the Jaeger 6" f/10 mounted objective lens for the "Gelinda J. Dawson" refractor. As you can see, the cell was designed with collimation in mind; a great asset that will help tremendously in aligning the optics. Also, note how big the aluminum spacer tabs are! As I said earlier, when I perform its first post build maintenance, I will be replacing them with smaller tabs that will be less obtrusive. Mounting of the front lens cell to the OTA is next!
