This past weekend was the North East Astronomy Forum, which is one of the biggest Amateur Astronomy gatherings in the US, and definitely the biggest anywhere that I could get by car. A 2 day event with 140 vendors in Suffern NY.

My shopping list this year was limited, but the one thing I really needed was a new focuser. After wandering around and trying out various options for feel, I ended up picking up the moonlight 2 speed. An hour on Sunday morning to install it and recolumnate the telescope, and now I’m just waiting for the skies to clear so I can test it (the forecast looks like it will be a while until that happens).

Red is their signature color, and definitely makes my scope look like a transformer now.
