Through with Discovery Telescopes (Long)

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
John, I'm really sorry to hear about your problems... :S
To tell you the truth, this comes to me as a surprise, as I had ONLY heard good things about them, but your post is a "wake up call" for many, I'm sure.
I thank you for posting this, and really hope that all these issues will soon be adressed by the offending party... to your benefit.


Clear skies!

Short Tube APO vs Achro

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
David,
The MAIN benefit of "APO vs. ACHRO" is "NO CHROMATIC ABERRATION".. past that point, normally you'll be looking into quality of components, like a much better focuser, better tube/dew shield construction, better finish, better glass...


Clear skies!

I paid -- no eyepiece, no communication

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Frank, if I were you, even though I believe communication is a bit lacking here, I would wait another week before doing anything drastic... (if he shipped the 30th of March, it could still be traveling your way)

This just seems to be a transaction done in "the wrong time" since the seller is "moving" and that could lead to issues. (not excusing him here)

I know it is hard for you, but please wait, I know your eyepiece will arrive, since with so many good ratings, it would be "dumb" to risk getting a bad rating at this stage...



Clear skies, and keep us all posted.
