Today was the first day of the Northeast Astronomy Forum, held at Rockland Community College. I have been going to this event for more than 20 years, and perhaps 30 years. It is a monster event for those of us interested in astronomy - I believe it is the largest event like this in the United States. You can find anything and everything related to astronomy here, including telescopes! BE SURE AND CLICK ON THIS IMAGE AND IT WILL OPEN UP TO FULL SCREEN.
This is one vendor's booth, as seen from the balcony overlooking the field house. I mean, look at all the stuff!
Here a couple has to run the gauntlet of at least a dozen refracting telescopes. Not an easy thing to do at this event!
This is the Celestron telescope display. Look at the size of some of these telescopes!
This is a display of classic Unitron telescopes, which were the kind of telescopes every amateur dreamed of opening back in the 1950's.
It’s huge! Totally overwhelming. I couldn’t help thinking of how much weight these vendors have to deal with…Hope you had a great day! Betsey
