Discovery credits
Discovery credits are a fixed monthly allowance included with your subscription. They appear separately from your regular credits in the app header.
Discovery credits expire at the end of your current subscription period — unused discovery credits do not carry over.
They're used to book reservations and live usage on Discovery telescopes.
Higher plan tiers unlock access to more Discovery telescopes.
Discovery credits are consumed ahead of your regular credits on a Discovery telescope.
Discovery telescopes
Discovery credits unlock a pool of telescopes not available on the standard credit system. Discovery telescopes are marked with a sparkle icon on the Dashboard, and higher plan tiers give access to more of them.
