Paper Abstract
The 6.5m MMT telescope currently has three focal configurations. The f/5 optical configuration has a system of optical
baffles to prevent stray light from entering the focal plane. The system consists of a cone baffle supported on the
secondary (M2) structure and set of concentric rings suspended between the secondary and the primary (M1). This paper
reviews the optical configurations, mechanical design, alignment, installation, and measured performance of the system.
