Removing the corrector plate.
|
Remove the 6 screws from corrector plate retaining ring and then remove the ring. Make sure the plate does not fall out, mine was loose at this point. |
Mark the corrector plate and cell so you can reinstall it later correctly. The plate on my scope was already marked with white paint by Meade. |
Keep track of the position and size of any spacers around the corrector plate. |

Flocking the tube.
|
The inside area to be flocked was measured and the circumference divided into 3rd's. A overlap of 1/2 inch was added to each piece before cutting. The backing was peeled back 2 inches before placing the flocking into the tube. |
The flocking is placed in the tube sticking and pressing to the tube as the paper backing is being peeled off. About 1/2 of one of the 3 sheets is done in this picture. |
One of the 3 flocking sheet has been installed. |
Beginning the 2nd sheet. |
Two of the three sections have been installed. Notice the difference in the internal tube reflections! |
