Excellent Part II! The boys are in bed, but I'll point them that way in the morning! I just showed my wife, who was is just as proud as Dad is! She commented " Wow, that's a lot of equipment. You going to need some sort of house or place to keep this stuff in." I told her that the boys and I know just the folks ( Scott and BYO...) who could help us with that....

That was a most excellent report(s) on the forum. Your travel log was a great mix of the gear and the people behind it all. The NEAF is now on my list of things to do before I die! Thanks for sharing it.

Great report Tom! NEAF once again was a success. The imaging conference was also very successful. Alan Traino & Co. put together a great forum. In between my RAC volunteer duties at NEAF, I did manage to check out some new scopes & EP's and all the vender booths with their goodies. It was like window shopping in Manhattan!

I finally got around to reading both parts of the report.

Nicely written Tom, as usual.

Great photos too. I missed the majority of the webcasts, so the photos are nice to see.

Clear skies,
