[AstroNet] Galileoscope discussion

[Kevin Govender]

Hi all
Just to let you know that we're exploring the possibility of having a 
large number shipped in so as to reduce the shipment costs.
In the meantime I should bring your attention to another small 
self-assembly telescope project in Japan called You are Galileo: 
http://www-irc.mtk.nao.ac.jp/~webadm/Galileo-E/
We are also hoping to bring these in in bulk - will inform this list as 
soon as we confirm.
Regards
Kevin
