RC-6 Baffle Extension

This is a baffle extension for a GSO Ritchey-Chretien 6" telescope to prevent stray light from reaching the camera sensor. It fixes a known flaw as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHuLrYe-oik&t=2s. Basically, it extends the baffling edge by 11mm from the primary mirror, while constricting the top of the extended baffle inward by ~2.5mm. [Note: You may need to adjust the fit with a thin strip or two of masking tape around the base of the extension. Also, placing the extension is a bit tricky given its location in the center of the telescope, but I was able to do it in a few minutes using a long wooden spoon to guide it in place and tamp it down to seat it firmly.]
