You people are so lucky to see a event like never visit a event like this

[nihonboss]

This is just pure awesomeness. I can’t believe I only found your channel yesterday when I’ve loved astronomy for so many years. I’m sure many people are the same. With such quality videos your channel should be way bigger. Instant subscription! Looking forward to more videos

[calvinfarrow]

You're famous! And you helped me get the proper equipment by watching your channel! You deserve all the success you have coming.

Hi Trevor. Thanks for talking with my GF and I at the beginning of NEAF outside. I didn't want to hold you guys up from the show. I ended up picking up an Explore Scientific 208mm Astrograph great guys. BTW tell Steve I have now caught up on all of your Podcasts. They are very good.

This years show was great and the attendance keeps growing. The most fun are the multiple "pick-up" conversations with everyone (as we all love astronomy). Everyone is willing to share experiences, future plans and knowledge. Thanks for the video and your channel.

Excellent video. NEAF is fantastic. A few years ago my kids were helping the staff there while I was helping to man the Astronomics / Cloudy Nights booth. You get to see your astro friends from all over the world. To anyone who hasn't made the trip - NEAF is worth the effort. Make sure you check out the lectures and the Solar Party while you are there.

Thank you for sharing your video report. I enjoyed how you pause so the viewer can actually see what the vendor has to offer. Love Astro products.

Custom light pollution filters...wow that's amazing ;)

[johnbrumleve]

Hi Trevor! You sighted me at NEAF [glasses on top of head at 3:34] but I didn't manage to sight you.
Thanks for fostering enthusiasm for truly big views; you rock!

Great video! Astronomy is my other hobby, and I recently purchased my first DSLR (canon SL2) and am looking to buy a AT60ED and the iOptron SkyGuider to start messing around with astrophotography (only done visual thus far), so it is funny you mentioned the iOptron. We were in Florida on vacation a few weeks ago and I just started taking some night sky shots around Orion from our hotel balcony with the SL2 and a 50mm prime lens and was showing my wife what you could capture even with a few second exposure, and she was like "uh oh".

Nice. I've been to about 10 NEAFs now, usually a day visit. Two years ago I attended NEAIC, which is held on the Thursday and Friday before NEAF. If you ever get a chance, it's worth the time. At this year's NEAF I ended up getting the Star Adventurer 2.

[rzk]

Damn those william optic scopes are beautiful !!!🤤🤤😍

[mars_man]

You need to come to NEAIC, thursday and Friday prior to NEAF.

[TxCwby]

Thank you, Sir! I’m sold. Won’t miss it next year. You covered a lot of ground very quickly, and good to see you had such a good intro to the dealers through your work. Appreciate your dedication, and enthusiasm. Haven’t checked in for a while...didn’t realize you have a skyshed POD. Will go back to see if you have comments about that. Enjoy the spring weather!

[FabienProxTrm]

You're like the Peter McKinnon of astrophotography !!! Love your videos, your style your astrophotos... everything! keep it up :DDD !!

[WaltherMekkie]
