Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - OTA Assembly (objective lens mounted to OTA - 1)

 

6" inch f/10 Jaegers Objective mounted in Front Lens Cell and mounted onto OTA - Angled View - 28 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

Here is an off-axis look at the OTA for the "GJD" refractor with the mounted objective's front lens cell mounted to the rear lens cell. The view also shows the inside surface of the OTA with the ProtoStar FlockBoard seen behind the objective lens. I must say it is pretty dark in there!

With the mounting of the objective, the OTA is practically complete! The last couple of tasks will be to collimated the instrument and add the dew shield (seen in the upper left of the picture).
