I was there for the first time myself today and spent a few dollars.

Often when my wife comes back from a shopping trip I hear "I saved you sooo much money!" To which I reply, "...and just how much did saving that money actually cost me?"

Today was my turn to say "I saved you sooo much money!"

Next year I hope to "save" even more.

Glad to do my part. I am quite lucky do be 25 miles from RCC and I am sure there are tons of people who wanted to be there but could not, and may get a flavor of the show from my pictures.

I bought a WO Diagonal and look what it did to my CSC

Just found out Thursday I'm going to have a SON

It was my first NEAF so I don't know if TV will restock overnight. They had a board of show specials and when I left lots of the entries had been crossed out.

Elsewhere, the TMB planetaries were going for $59. I wish I had gotten more than just the 8mm.

I wanted to get a 6mm at that price but they weren't available yet.

On the high point scientific website it says that until May 1st they will be honoring the NEAF pricing. I got my TMB from thier booth. There was some fine print at the bottom so you should probably give them a call on Monday.
