Default Thanks & Question

First, thank you so much for the welcome and web sites. I wish I had
subscribed here before buying a telescope! There certainly is a lot
of valuable information on this newsgroup.

I'm enjoying the telescope although I suspect it is what most sites
refer to as a department store telescope as I haven't seen Galileo
telescopes mentioned amongst the better quality beginning ones. I've
been doing a lot of reading including the Sky and Telescope web site.
What a great site! Last night I finally got the knack of using the
finder scope so had a little more success. It has a little red light
in it. We viewed the moon and Mars as well as practised aiming the
telescope. We have two pairs of binoculars (10 x 25; 10-30 X 50) that
really helped although the larger pair was of more help than the
smaller pair. Anyway, we are having fun and learning!

Someone mentioned they had been to Galileo's web site looking for
telescopes. I've googled for the site with no success and it isn't in
the literature I have. Would anyone know what it is off hand? TIA
