The annual Northeast Astron-
omy Forum has something
for every amateur astronomer
regardless of age, experience,
or fi eld of interest.Every year I make an eff ort to scout all the vendor booths at NEAF in search
of new and innovative astronomy gear that our readers will fi nd useful. This
year’s event had a particularly bountiful crop of telescopes, mounts, cameras,
eyepieces, and other gadgets to make our hobby more enriching. Some of the
highlights are featured on the following 7 pages.
