The IYA2009 telescope is now available!
      #2962770 - 03/04/09 09:14 AM

As you may know, the Galileoscope — a high quality, easy-to-assemble and easy-to-use telescope at an unprecedentedly low price — is now available to order. A Cornerstone project of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009), the Galileoscope was developed by a team of leading astronomers, optical engineers and science educators to make the wonders of the night sky more accessible to everyone. Orders can now be placed through www.galileoscope.org for delivery beginning in late April.

OK - I just ordered one! I'm going to compare it with the FirstScope - which Celestron has out in conjunction with IYA.

That sounds like an interesting comparison. Are you able to give us a review and comparison of each yet?
