I just received your rings for my AT8RC! I’ve installed them and am very pleased with the fit and finish of your product. I had weighed the complete telescope with both the old and new rings and now the setup is 4.4 pounds lighter! The original rings I had on the telescope weighed 8.2 lbs. Your rings came in at 3.8 lbs, which is actually less than half of the original.

As a client, I’m pleased to say that I had an excellent experience with Rouz himself & all his equipment. Rouz is an essential part as a complement in Planewave company’s setup. No problem of orthogonality and flexure and no extra weight with the OAG instead of a guidescope and it works extremely well ! Thanks.

Went with Rouz Astro’s optical train design for the CDK 14. Rouz was extremely helpful and answered many questions about the native/reducer configurations he has come up with. Used Rouz’s brackets for the Optec controllers and Pegasus UPB2 – they fit perfectly. Used the balance kit on the end of the OTA that allowed perfect Dec balance…

Tube Rings – These are really great! Light but more stable than thinner aluminum. I love mine on the Tak TSA120. Thanks again.

The mounting ring and handle that come with the Askar FRA300 are a bit restrictive in what you can attach to them. The outside diameter of the scope is 82 mm so any rings had to be custom made. I could not find any takers till Rouz Astro started offering custom rings. The rings, riser blocks and the top 6″ Losmandy plate are out of carbon composite. The finish of all the products are of top quality and the whole rig feels very sturdy. He is very easy to deal and communicate with and is responsive to questions and requests.

Please accept my thanks in getting the Optec and Rouz Astro products here in wonderful condition. I’ve used the CDK14 with its reducer in place and pretty much everything worked the first time. Thanks again to all for your wonderful products and excellent customer support. This was a very happy night!

I got the fan kit in today and it’s so cool. Thanks for the fast shipping! Construction is excellent and the installation was incredibly easy. I will happily recommend this product and any others that I order from Rouz in the future. Can’t wait to test it. Thank you!

I’ve worked extensively with Rouz on his equipment reviews. Rouz has a great view of overall systems, but he is also scrupulous in his attention to detail. These qualities show in his astrophotography as well.

Rouz makes fantastic accessories for Planewave CDKs, beautifully made. Thank you also for sharing your expertise, the reviews and images you publish.

An excellent modular solution for astronomy accessories made with the same quality as Rouz’s other products. I have the Quieter and Optec Lynx brackets and I highly recommend them!

Got around to installing your brackets and clamps, today from my previous order (UPBV2 / Mele). I must say… VERY NICE. I’m a bit obsessive about things, and I must say I am impressed with your products so far.

It was such a pleasure working with you on this, Rouz. Thanks so much for taking care of this fine equipment, for selling it to me, and for getting it here so quickly and packaged so well.
