Galileoscope - first light
Too late tonight - detail tomorrow if I get time.
The most impressive item I have ever seen at the price of US$15!
Easy to build, a solid result, but a nuisance to focus.
But Jupiter and its Moons - easy. The Jewel Box - nice and major stars resolved well. Omega Centauri - a nice bright fuzzball.
I even think I could see M104 with averted imagination. Just need darker skies, I think.
The 2x barlow makes viewing a bit tougher, but it filled the FOV with Jupiter and its moons.
Couldn't pull focus when I put a diagonal in. I'll have to experiment with some of my 1.25" eyepieces when I can.
