People, Is Discovery still backlogged with lots of waiting time? Or has the economic downturn slowed things down a bit? I am thinking of ordering a 17 incher. ...
Dean, "I would go time after time for discovery" I am so impressed with this 17,5" TDF4,1 that I would go time after time for discovery. Even if this means to...
By the way, I am interested in purchasing a 17 inch Discovery. Can anyone on the list make a suggestion as to a second hand Discovery? Are they available now...
Used 17.5 Discovery scopes come up on Astromart from time to time. You might even put up a "wanted" ad for one, staating what you want. I almost bought a...
About five years ago, I purchased a used Discovery 17.5-inch truss design that was advertised on Astromart and got a very good deal. The scope was only six...
Hello all, I'd like to give my sister an estimate on buying her scope. It's about 7 years old and here are the other details: Here is what I have on the...
I think you'll get a better answer over at Talking Telescopes or the Orion Telescopes groups. If the scope is in near-mint condition, then you need to pay her...
I did a little research on Astromart, and two such scopes sold for $225. I'd offer $250 because I don't think the others included the cover, which is a nice...

I took off from work at about 2 pm to give me enough time to reach Hassaan's place. It was my first trip there so I didnt want to be late. Going from...

New member intro, longish… My 10yr old daughter pulled me back to the stars. History: Growing up I wanted a telescope. Large family, tight budget, and no one...
Forgot to mention, I was putting off buying a scope because I wanted to get a 17.5 truss from discovery. So I guess this 10" will be our "trainer" before we...
You might find the short 5-8mm eyepieces won't be as useful as something a bit longer (9 to 12mm) because of seeing conditions found on most nights. On my 8"...
Welcome back to the fold, Richard. Nice find on that 10-inch; always good to hear a neglected instrument has fallen into caring hands. This is actually a...
I'll head over to talking telescopes, but first... why was it said that Discovery Telescopes are not what they used to be? I had always heard good things and...
I find Kokusai and William Optics are very nice. Kokusai have 20, 16, & 13mm in 1-1/4" diameter, and 30mm in 2". My 2" 40mm William Optics SWAN is probably...
