NEAF


So this is it!  The Big Daddy of all astronomy and telescope shows.  The Northeast Astronomy Forum.  It is the show we wait for all year long.  Any kind of telescope or mount or eyepiece or accessory can be found here. and you can see it, touch it, pick it up, and look through it!  It doesn't get any better than that when you are trying to decide whether or not to buy a new piece of equipment.  BE SURE AND CLICK ON THIS PANORAMA to see in in a larger size.


It is a "candy store" on overload for those of us in the hobby of Astronomy.


Seven telescopes in a row!  Which one do you want?


There are also lectures going on both days, and they include astronauts, and scientists and NASA administrators.  This gentleman gave a great talk about exploring the different geological features of the Moon.


Oh look!  More telescopes, and dedicated astronomy cameras to put on the back.


The amount of equipment and accessories on display is unimaginable, until you come here and see everything in person!  This is the event that charges are batteries and makes us want to get observing now that the nicer weather is here.

It is a "Candy Store" is the perfect expression for you kid! :-) The amount of people and displays are impressive.

Love the panorama view to show all the vendors and people attending. This certainly looks overwhelming. "Candy" store is appropriate for all the items you would love to try. Reminds me of all the craft shows that Joan & I attended for so many years! Betsey
