I cant see any point of baffles in a netwonian OTA.

Baffles work where they are between your eye and the light source that you want to block out. In the case of baffles in the main newt OTA, you are viewing the illuminated side of the baffle. The only baffles that makes sense are inside the focuser, or behind the primary mirror to stop light from being seen from the back.
