The moon through a GalileoScope


The Galileoscope is project that develops cheap, good quality telescopes for the International Year of Astronomy. I was lucky enough to use one while at the astronomy store: Starizona. While there we looked mainly at the moon so I tried to take a picture, and this is how it turned out. The quality of the moon through the scope was amazing, I could not believe this came from a cheap $15 telescope. So as most of us wait for our own orders of galileoscopes to arrive we can enjoy the image through this one, and get a preview of what we will see.

Amazing image of the Moon for such a small & inexpensive scope!
