Another view showing internal flocking of the main tube with the baffles in focus... (Click for enlarged view)

 

Here is the final shot of the 127mm f/9.4 refractors flocked main tube. This time with the baffles in focus. Well there are areas on the baffles that appear to be shiny, but the flash from my camera caused this effect. Essentially, this puppy is dark on the inside. You can also easily make out the four sections of ProtoStar® flocking material that covers the front end of the tube. This stuff is going to react like a black hole in absorbing stray and extraneous light. The tube be stored in a box while I work on finishing the dew shield, which is next in the coverage of the 127mm f/9.4 OTA Construction.
