This past weekend our local (here in Connecticut) Discovery Center and some other Volunteers had a Galileoscope Building day...We also had a corporate sponsor so the local price here was USD$10 for the scope kit and tripod...

Attached is a low quality picture taken of me and my two sons building our scopes...as happens with all new astro gear as soon as they were put together the clouds came out along with some rain and our viewing night was cancelled...with the tripod they are okay for the price. I reckon we got that much entertainment from putting them together...

I am also attaching the assembly instructions that we used...I found them a bit better than the ones that came with the kits and it also provides a good view to folks of what are in the kits...
