Flocking a baffled tube?

#1

Post by Larry 1969 »


Hello all!
I'm getting ready to do some maintenance on my Orion 8" F3.9 Newt and I'm wondering if there is a way to flock the tube even though it's baffled. Is it worth it? I've been having some reflection problems so that is what has me looking into it.

I plan to have it apart for a good cleaning so that would be the time to do it. I'm also 3-D printing a primary mirror mask for it as well.

Thanks!

Larry
