Wonderful pics and text as always,Tom.
One thing I did learn from last weekends webcast.
Ive been pronouncing NAGlers wrong for 20 years
Now I know its NAYglers.

I can now pronounce your surname too,Tom. Ive been getting that wrong too

Thanks.

Also from Tom's live interview with Al and David Nagler I learned that Ethos is fine either for singular or plural.

Thanks for your amazing reports Tom!

Excellent Part 2, Tom. You really did work hard all weekend (you knew I wuz just teasing in the other thread ). So did the rest of the CN/Astronomics crew. Me, I just sat on my bum and typed on the computer most of the time...kinda like I do at home, come to think of it...

The written report and pics will always be a big part of NEAF for those who can't go and miss the webcasts, methinks...it's a great summary that you do, and it's tradition!

Kudos and many thanks to T, Steph, and all CN staff at NEAF! Webcasts and Part 1/2 articles bring it home to those of us who couldn't be present

Tom, another great glimpse at NEAF. And you are right, Sunriver Observaory IS the only non-profit Televue dealer in the world (and it took a whole lot of talking to convince Judy and Sandi to allow it to be a vendor a number of years back.
