Now that sales are well under way, I'm guessing that new owners of Galileoscopes will be googling for help.
Can the good denizens here recommend links/techniques for getting the most out of a Galileoscope?
It starts (of course) with a mount (of some kind); a pre-existing camera tripod is the obvious choice, but what about (cheap!) home-made?
Do the people here have tips on assembly - mods for improved performance?
Easier focusing (this seems a common area of difficulty).
I'm guessing Joe Public would also be very interested in astrophotography (afocal, using a P&S).
Everyone wants their own photo of the moon, right?
After that, one might consider upgrades, eye pieces, but that would be secondary; I think DIY is more in the Ethos of the Galileoscope project.

Ah yes - well not "threads", but a thread with a lot of posts.

Thanks for the pointer.
