Ordered my 10" PDHQ on March 28th. Called Bill Wednesday (6/29), he said the mirrors are back from the coater so it will ship late this week or by Tuesday of...
Good luck with your telescope, I ordered a 15" truss on August 2 2004 and make calls to discovery every week and he tells me that every time, I talked to him...
Dear group, What kind of options do I want to consider when I pay the balance of my telescope order? C.O.D., credit card or any other options? Thanks, Steve ...
Hello everyone :) I am a former 12" LX200 GPS owner and must admit I loved that scope as far as ease of use and the images through the eyepiece. I have also...
Tom, Congrats on the new scope. I've had the 10" PDHQ for a couple of years now and love it. It throws up great views. It grabs DSOs well (can make out...
Ronald, I have a Discovery 16" (not a typo - special run) and there is no doubt that I can see more with the 16" than with my Meade 8" SCT or my 3.5"...

Hello Ronald, I currently own one of the 15" f/5 Discovery truss dobs. I can reach the eyepiece standing on the ground except for about a 30 deg circle at...
... The views are worth it. It's not a bother really. It's either a chair or a ladder. The chair would be more comfortable for all night sessions but I usually...
Hello I'm interested in buying an Orion RACI finder to supplement my Telrad on my new 12.5 PDHQ. I'm wondering where to place each finder, that is, should I...

Here are my observations with a 10" DHQ from Southern Oregon: 2005 July 3/4 I set up on a ridge off a forest road in order to get a clear view to the SW. I...
So, a ~2-magnitude jump in m2 and an ~0.5-magnitude jump ... Too bad about the clouds Wes. Sounds like you still were able to detect that something had...
I just got a TeleVue nebustar filter to use on my 10"PDHQ and am a bit frustrated. I tried to use in on the obvious choices (Veil Nebula and the NGC 7000) but...
The Nebustar filter is a very gradual light pollution filter, and will not have a profound effect on the Veil, like the Lumicon O-III or UHC, which filter out...

Hey All, I've got the 17.5TD and have noticed that with much use, the ground board bolt works its way loose of the rocker box! Is there a relatively easy way...
Dear group, I just wanted to say thanks Don D'Egidio for your response and the group in general. It's made waiting for this scope much easier. Some local...
Try the non-permanent loctite (green, I think?) on the threads of the bolt. It should solve your problem, yet not prevent dissembly at a later time. Don...
I have a 15" truss Dis. dob. I put the Telrad on top, Antares 10x50 next, focuser at eye level. Works well for me. The Antares has a right angle and does...
I have a 15" discovery truss dob. The views are great. I am only 5' 7" and I can point the scope straight up and don't need a stool. Also, the fast scope...
I have a 27mm Panoptic 2" eyepiece which I got for Christmas. I have a 15" truss dis. dob with f4.2. I see seagull stars sometimes. My Orion 17 mm Lant....
I'm having similar low power view problems myself and I'm looking into a Tele Vue Paracorr. From my understanding the low power views through a reflector show...
Hi, I have a 12.5 scope and like many others faced the same problem. The paracorr solved all problems (for a price!) and is highly recommended. Best wishes ...
