Just a heads up....received 19 inch diameter black vinyl covers from Discovery for my 15 inch f/5 split tube. These are different than the fabric covers that...
Does anyone know why Discovery is not answering their phone, returning voice mails, or emails? I've been trying to get a hold of them to check on my scope...

They make great mirrors! I sold my 17.5"f/5 split tube and that was a bad choice thinking I was going to Iraq! Bill should let us know something! Eurvin ...
... I've had the same experience at the end of November. But eventually I got hold of them by phone. I was able to order a mirror, which arrived in the ...

Hello to all concerned Discovery purchasers. I bought a 17.5 F5 split tube and I waited for 9 months. Well worth the wait!!!! For those whom are concerned...
I'm sure this has been done before, but I greatly stiffened the rocker box by adding a closet rod wood dowel to the front of the rocker box. No muss, no fuss!...

Considering the 10" F6 but from what I read the delivery time would be a guess. Planning a trip to west Texas in late May and not having the scope would not be...
When we bought a 17.5-inch for our club we waited two days and saved several hundred dollars. How? Bought it used in practically brand new condition from a...

I talked to Bill today and he said my scope should get here this week. I'd like to know if anyone else purchased the same 16"f/4.5 split tube scope? I think he...
... I have a 10" Discovery Dob too, and from what I can see, a fan is not a must given the cell and mirror are well ventilated. I leave mine out for about 45...

Thanks for the feedback on the 10" fan. Took the plunge today and ordered the scope from Bill(talked to him for quite a while Patrick so maybe that's why you...
If the WO Bino is a clone to the BO unit (as I've been told), then here's a tip that works like a charm. For $19, you can get a 1" long extension tube from...
