Going to NEAF - Apr. 3-5

Post by Sureshks »

Hello,

I'm planning to attend the Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF) this year - from Apr. 3-5th at the Rockland Community College in Suffern, NY.

Here's the link: http://www.rocklandastronomy.com/neaf.html

NEAF is the largest annual astronomy equipment emporium and flea market. Many of the largest equipment manufacturers and sellers attend each year. They also have excellent talks and demonstrations. I particularly like the solar observing field they have, with examples from each of the major solar telescope makers on hand, such as Daystar, Lunt and Coronado. It really is a good time.

This is the 30th anniversary of NEAF, and they're planning to make it even bigger this time.

I'm looking for someone/group to partner up with -- share a motel room and rental car to/fro Newark Airport.

Non-stop flights are presently $362 from MSP to Newark. The 2-day pass to NEAF is $50.

If you're interested in going, please let me know!
