Ever since I first went to the North
East Astronomy Forum in Suffern, NY in 2001, I've been hooked.
Since I now live back in the U.K. it's not so easy to get to, so I
try and go every other year. 2007 was my turn again! This event
just gets bigger and better - on the opening day there were in
excess of 100 vendors ranging from the biggest names in the
industry (Celestron, Meade, Tele Vue, etc.) down to all the little
'mom and pop' businesses that support our hobby with their
indispensable add-ons. What did I like best? Well, that was quite
easy for me this year. I was honoured to meet Normand Fullum and to
experience his beautiful wooden Dobsonians firsthand. Normand's
telescopes are indeed works of art and have won him numerous awards
at Stellafane and elsewhere. You can read more about them and see
