The 4.3-m Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) is Lowell Observatory's flagship facility at a dark-sky site approximately 40 miles southeast of Flagstaff on the Coconino National Forest. The telescope is classically scheduled by semester, with the current being 2024A. See the current call for observing proposals for Lowell Observatory and Partner Institution members.
The facility was constructed as the Discovery Channel Telescope, but was renamed in 2019 in cooperation with Discovery Communications.
