Robert B. –
It was perfect custom-made for a 8 inch Newtonian and the dew shield fit like a glove

Great product!
Richard –
I’m in Bortle 8 with lots of city lights around me, the baffled dew shield for my C925 decreased my average background by about 40% and my background was now amazingly even across the field, both the level and flattness are so much improved compared to old standard dew shield. I’m so impressed!
Thomas G. –
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.
