If Discovery is indeed sliding into obscurity, it is really too bad. I bought a 14" f/4.5 PDHQ in 2000 while living in Phoenix. I stacked the Discovery...
Hi Drazen, We've just heard too many of these complaints to comfortably recommend patience. I'm not sure Discovery is as bad as that BBB report but they are...
Hi there again, it seems that a patience was worth it after all - Bill sent me a notification that my scope have been shipped and I can track the whole...
This is how every story I've heard of slow shipment by Discovery ends. Bill, you really need to give the customers more realistic delivery dates. -- Dave Read...
I use to frequent this posting board quite a bit back a few years ago. It is sad to see most posts speaking about these problems. They were few and far...
My PST arrived today finally, everything looks good in original package. So I hope it will perform equally good, it's newer model with blueish objective...
Yes, I've heard of the Wixey at Cloudy Nights. Since this posting, I've concluded from experience and other posts: 1) a digital inclinometer is great (Smart...
Hello, I've been on this site for some time. I know that Discovery takes a lot of time getting the product to their customers but with my experience, it's well...
Woops, I can't speak for PST but I hear it's awesome! Would like to have one myself! I didn't read into the message well enough until I had sent my message....
Hi Folks My 12.5" Truss Discovery scope fell over (long story) and the JMI DX-3 (no longer made) focuser was damaged. To my great delight and surprise Bill...
Does anyone (Don?) have any ... it ... Maureen, on my solid tube scope I checked the square of the focuser by wrapping a measuring tape around the tube...
Maureen, What I did for my 17.5" TD was to first remove the secondary from the spider vanes by removing the large nut and sliding the threaded shaft of the...
Maureen, I forgot to mention that I also removed the spider vanes after I removed the secondary. Since you have the 12.5", you could probably remove the vanes...
Hey Theo, I was a victim of Discovery's promised delivery dates. For 18 months I was told the scope will ship in two weeks, or we're waiting for a new batch of...
I also have a motorized 17.5 truss Discovery telescope and in consideration of CCD operations I am considering modifying the mirror box. The baffle is located...
Hi My name is Akarsh and I'm new to this group. I'm from India. I'm planning to buy a Discovery 17.5" f/5 PDHQ very soon. I'd like to know users' experience...
... Welcome Akarsh. I own a 17.5 f5 single piece tube (not a split tube) and am very pleased with it optically and mechanically. I must caution you though...
Hello Akarsh, I agree with some of the responses you've been receiving related to the 17.5" PDHQ. As I have grown through our hobby I have owned a 12.5" PDHQ,...

I have owned 20 telescopes, including three Discovery PDHQ's: 17.5" f/5, 15" f/5, and my present 12.5" f/5. I will soon be ordering a 17.5" f/4.1 Split-Tube...
I place a order for a 17.5 truss a couple of weeks ago. I based this on the quality of the Discovery optics I've seen in other scopes around here. I put 50%...
I'll add a little background info. I'm located in the San Jose, CA area and an currently observing with a CG-11 (SCT GEM) that I've owned since Dec 94. I...
Hi I placed an order for a 17.5" f/5 PDHQ, about a month back. I would like to know more about Discovery's deliveries as well. Discovery promised me completion...
