I have had one of the first Starmaster scopes and am considering a bigger scope. Has anyone made the move down to discovey scopes from a premium dob? What was your impression? How have the optics been lately? They are really a great deal and I am most interested in the 15 and 15 inch versions... Thanks
Discovery Truss scopes...

Chad,
Haven't moved down like you said, but since you are considering Discovery, you might wish to check out Rob Teeter's site (from the Astromart sponsor list)...he makes quality dobs with Discovery mirrors. I have one of Teeter's scopes, the prototype 12.5, and it's solidly built, has excellent hardware, and Rob's great to work with. No complaints at all! Still a waiting list for those, but at least you'd have one person to talk to, not a factory's worth. Worth checking out.
