Johan, I wouldn't use my 17.5" TD F/5 without one, especially with my Nagler eyepieces. Not so bad with my Panoptic and not needed with my Plossl's or Ortho's....
Two weeks have passed since I canceled my order with Bill and no refund to my Visa card. I have sent a couples of faxes and am still waiting. I have disputed ...
Actually I canceled it because I'm concerned about receiving a quality telescope or a telescope at all. I'm getting tired of your condescending attitude. You ...
You're right, maybe I should have done my homework and talked to Terry before I ordered a telescope from Discovery. I resent the fact that you are painting ...
Johan, The three eyepieces I use most often are a 20mm Nagler, 12mm Nagler, and a 35mm Panoptic. They do work better with the Paracorr and I use it as I have...
Although talking about delivery times seems inherent to buying a Discovery scope, I ask this thread be over with and the board start discussing other topics. ...
On the Dutch forum, some members advised me to buy the paracorr. "wait until you see the differance" one wrote... Discovery told me yesterday evening that 1/3...
Penny, While I agree that this thread has digressed a bit from where it started, I feel that posts of poor customer service are a critical part of this group....
Sorry if I offended you. I am finished. All I did was speak the truth. ... ____________________________________________________________________________________...

Dear Dan and group, Of course I almost always let conversations like this go on. It is absolutely necessary for Discovery to answer all the questions about...
I am selling my Nagler 31mm if anyone is interested. I use it with my 17.5 f5 pdhq and have been very happy with it but I need the money for another hobby. I...
Hello Chris, Make with the specifics ($$) I'd like to try one of these in my 20" f/5 Bill L ... From: singularity1101 To: Discovery-Dob-Users@yahoogroups.com ...
Yes, I would like to talk about more positive things in this group, so I will ask this. Can anyone in this group provide me with more information about this...
Hi Dan, In the photos section are a few pictures of another 16 inch pdhq and I do remember seeing posts in the past. Try a find on 16 inch pdhq or the persons...
Dear Group Please refrain from any personal attacks in this group, we have had a recent spat of semi-heated discussions regarding delivery times, etc. I have...
Dan: I own a 16-inch split-tube Discovery with a Meade mirror. I bought it used on Astromart and I absolutely love it. Once properly collimated, the views are...
How accurate has everyone found the center spotting of their primary to be? Verifying mine would require removing the cell and using a template to test it....
Bill, Thanks for the great report. I do understand about the need for precise collimation. I have a friend who is very demanding of proper collimation on his...
Based on customer feedback, commercial-scope OEM center-spot location is often NOT. A ruler is sufficient for centering the Primary on the OTA. For Newtonian...

Mike, I recently bought a full set of 2" catseye tools and center spotted my new 16" Ostahowski mirror in the TeleKit I'm just finishing up. Tried the catseye...
... Based on star tests after collimation I found the center spot on my 12.5" PDHQ to be very accurate. That would be a good way to test if your spot is...
