I'm looking at rings for a 10" reflector. Has anyone had experience with rings from here:
http://www.desertskyastro.com
I had thought I'd get rings from Parallax, but this other site has them for a bit less, plus I think they look nicer. But, of course, if they flop all over the place, none of that matters!
Thanks.

Raul is local. I've met him in person. He's about as stand-up a guy as you'd ever want to meet. I also have the dual alt/az mount from him. Fit & finish is excellent. He makes the parts because he likes to. I would not hesitate to order rings from him. Just my 2 cents...
Here's a pic of the mount:

Nice quality. He manufactures everything himself including doing the powder coating.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the Rings page on their web says "Under Construction"?

Yep, I gather the rings might be a more recent offering; that's partly why I wondered if anyone had tried them. I had seen an online ad from him, and asked about the rings.

I recently bought the DSV-1 mount and it's great quality at a great price. I'd assume the rings would also be of the same quality.
