The cost of Astronomy.

I was at one of our local schools tonight to give a short presentation and show the kids were to find Jupiter, Mercury, Venus the Southern Cross you get the idea, it was good and everyone enjoyed the night. Before I left the teachers told me about a travelling telescope education program that was going to cost them $900 for the night. I checked out there website and no joke $10 per child minium cost $500. The website had amazing colour photos as well, just like the packaging on some telescope boxes. I'm very disappointed with this type of thing because they seem to trawl the country schools. Has anyone else come across this? Maybe it's ok I don't know but I was sick by the time I left.
