I have a Newtonian reflector with a six inch mirror but I need to find a new Telrad for the thing.

I have a Discovery Newtonian with a 10” mirror in a 12” tube. I’m 5’8” and is as tall as I am, lol. I can see gaps between the rings of Saturn on a clear, stable night.
I have a Telrad mounted on it and a finder scope. She’s a beaut! I bought it brand new in 2004 and added the accessories.
Discovery telescopes (not affiliated the Discovery channel) were known for there awesome mirrors. It’s sad they are no longer in business.

Btw, you can order a Telrad from Amazon for $52.95 US.
