I wrote about it in a book I published recently: http://www.lulu.com/content/hardcover-book/integration-of-astronomy-in-the-rizal-course/7158012 This Galileoscope came in a bit late. I ordered one just tonight to test it. I can't wait to try it out; I guess I'll get my order by July.

My brother ordered one for me using Mastercard but he received an error upon check out. The bad thing is that the transaction was reflected on his credit card but he did not get any confirmation e-mail. I've e-mailed them a couple of times but I still haven't received any replies.

Binoculars with better optics than this can be easily had for less money. I just bought a pair of 10x50 last week for 7USD. For the rest of the world, a fantastic product.
