Hi Houghy,

The baffling in that telescope will improve the contrast incredibly. I installed baffles in my 12-inch 'scope and the improvement was astonishing, both visually and photographically.

If you shine a torch down the end of the scope from an angle, you'll see that the light might make it past the first few baffles but not too the primary mirror.

Have fun with your new equipment !
