    Not sure if this is violating site policy, but here are some crappy camera phone pictures I took at NEAF of some of the more exotic items there:

    I especially adore Ed Connor's 6" D&G Binocular Telescope.

    I don't think the photo quality is bad! Thanks for sharing this. I have not been to NEAF yet and appreciate this post a lot because of that.

    Yea great stuff @Diogenes. No problem posting links to other sites as long as as long as it is useful to readers and not off topic. We don't mind that you guys post links that go to other competing sites, I would even encourage it. The goal has always been make AC a resource hub so if that resource happens to be on a competing site we have no problem.

    Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a competing site, but I just posted a new NEAF entry at my blog with some photos of some of the things that appealed to me. Click on the link at the bottom of my signature to see the sights and read my thoughts on NEAF 2016. .

    I believe that was an AP binoscope. At least the plates on the scopes said "Astro-Physics"

    Those classic Unitron and Tasco scopes take me back. I used to drool over those in the catalogs when I was a kid.
