Amos B –
Product quality was superb. Shipping was fantastic and the customer service I would rate even more stars if I could. I will 100% recommend anything from Rouz from here on.

While I didn’t expect it to be 3D printed,it doesn’t change the fact that it is a fantastic little gizmo. There’s no other baffled dew shield on the market that is designed with ray-tracing in mind. It makes shooting in anything over a Bortle 4 that much better. If I could change something about it, I would like it better if it were molded rather than printed, a slot for wires, and maybe a nice Rouz Astro red friction clamp rather than the bolts to attach it. Other than my micro detail complaints, it’s worth every penny.

Perfect fit – CarbonStar 150 Newtonian!
Peter Watson –
Excellent sturdy, secure, and light weight design.
My only complaint is: Cover not included, and worse it’s $75 – $90!!! $200 w/o a cover – sorry, not a good deal.
Still a great Dew Shield, too expensive w/o the cover IMHO
