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

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.
