If the optics are any good, that's an awesome price.
'Problem is the plastic Barlow lens. I don't think it's going to be a clear enough view to make out the major craters of the moon. There's a nice sample image of the moon in the FAQ that was made with a "prototype," but without the specs of that device, there's no telling whether the sample is likely to represent the view through the production-model.
I think I'm gonna wait and see what people think when they get the first batch out.
