There needs to be a little man banging his head against the wall while his 'scope (With camera attached) is pointing somewhere totally silly.

Oh, and do the sets come with obligatory clouds?

[Ganymede12]

Do they do LEGO galaxies with the same scale? 

[Schorhr]

Oh this is a neat idea.

I've printed Lego minifigs and parts with my 3D printer in the past, perhaps I will make something like that :-)

Also, http://www.astronomie.de/bibliothek/artikel-und-beitraege/sonstige-themen/ein-lego-dobson/, with the 70mm astromedia mirror (10gbp/12eur or 20eur as cardboard kit).

To scale, Mr. Lego Minifig would have a 124" mirror :-)

Where are the Lego clouds to complete the set?

They seem to have missed out the lego dog cocking his leg up the mount.... or maybe that just happens to me

There's quite a bounce on that as it slews!  Still at least you could build a more substantial mount from scratch

Even lego astronomers dress like geeks.
