Steve Pompei sent me a flier about the Galileoscope (IYA Cornerstone 
project) which they are now taking orders for.   I posted it with 
link from

or you can go to it directly at

He told me it has 2x barlow and a Plossl-style eyepiece - achromatic 
- made with different index of refraction plastic lens elements. 
Very interesting!  The objective is achromatic also.

They need a certain number of orders minimum to be able to make the 
first production run.
