Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Flint Element (Coated)

 

The coated flint element for the Jaegers 6" f/10 GJD Refractor (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

With its lovely MGF2 anti-reflection coating applied by Majestic Optical Coatings, here is the flint element for the Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" refractor. To see how well these coatings work, check out the difference between the purplish coated area and the edge strips where the element was supported in the coating vacuum chamber. Those strip areas were not coated and reflect quite a bit of light as compared to the anti-reflective coated area.
