127mm f/9.4 OTA Construction - OTA Installing CD Knife-Edge Baffles (front of first baffle 1)

 

Positioning the first baffle inside of the main tube... (Click for enlarged view)

 

Using the ray trace I created, which notates the locations of the baffles, I slid the first baffle into the main tube to its corrected position. During installation, i had to be very careful to not allow the baffle to flip, because it would break off the peg supports. Unfortunately, I broke off one peg from the fourth baffle when Lord Klutz paid me a visit.

With the first baffle positioned, it is time to secure it in place.
