Shame on them, makes me sick... Change the name immediately, how about Galileï-scope, or if they trademarked that Kepler-scope ?

It took so long that I got fed up and ordered the Celestron IYA-scope (the 2 inch Dob firstscope) wich I also love to death, along with the extra eypeaces. When I got the C I received the G about two weeks later, and as it was an informed strategy to get both and be able to interchange all the eyepieces I now proudly own a great set of IYA-reminders with great potential. So I could argue that the delay got me to order the extra scope and be doubly blessed... The IYA has been great for me, I've always been very interested in Astronomy and Spaceflight, collecting a great library of books from 1890-now, but only this year, thanx to IYA I got scopes and started listening to Astronomycast, Planetary Radio and Slacker; I wouldn't have known about these great resources if not for IYA. Thank you all you people with those great dreams, I share them now and endorse them everywhere I go ! Daniël.

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 04:27:55 +0000 http://www.astrosphere.org/?p=33#comment-15 [...] Our auction of 2 autographed Galileoscopes raised enough money to donate 33 telescopes to 33 kids. We don’t know where on the planet these telescopes will fly, but no matter where they go I’m sure the kids behind the eye pieces will be thrilled to have a chance to explore the sky with their own eyes.

They had the name trade marked and are charging the Galileoscope team a fortune to use the name. I think close to 100k for the year. And on top of that they get to advertise on the Galileoscope site as sponsers when truely they are causing damage to the project.
