Tele Vue at 2018 NEAIC & NEAF this Week!
Tele Vue will be exhibiting at two back-to-back shows just an hours drive north of New York City this week. The Northeast Astro-Imaging Conference (NEAIC) is Thursday and Friday and the Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF) is Saturday and Sunday. You can buy tickets at the door for either (follow links at end of blog post).
If you post a photo of our booth at either event on social media, use the following harshtag sequences so we can like it:

Northeast Astro-Imaging Conference (NEAIC)
Crowne Plaza Conference Center, Suffern, NY. April 19 & 20, 2018
This is a serious imaging conference for those that want to improve their skills. Typically there are 200 attendees. Between sessions on imaging, photometry (deep sky/ planetary), spectroscopy and pro-am collaborations, stop by the Tele Vue booth to see our imaging gear. This includes the Tele Vue NP-127fli, Tele Vue TV-85, BIG Paracorr Type-2, and the Tele Vue-NP101is used by Dr. Don Bruns for his eclipse imaging experiment (more on that below).
Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF)
SUNY Rockland Community College, Suffern, NY. April 21 & 22, 2018

NEAF has a different feel from NEAIC: it is spread out over a suburban college campus with activities that typically include solar observing, mirror grinding demonstrations, kids events, many speakers from NASA and industry discussing space and astronomy missions, and over a hundred vendors with hardware for show and sale. Attendance for this weekend event is in the thousands and whole families typically come through.
We’ve got one more reason for you to attend NEAF this year: you’ll see the world premier of our new line of Bandmate Type 2 filters at NEAF and a limited quantity has arrived in time for first sales at the show! The Bandmate Type 2 filter offerings will initially consist of OIII, Hß, and Nebustar-UHC models. The first thing you’ll notice is that these filters are produced for us in Germany by Astronomik. Tele Vue and Astronomik are two relatively small companies that adhere to the same philosophy. Do it better, or don’t do it at all; the products, customer, and night sky deserve it.

The system proved to be the most impressive visual light amplifying setup I’ve ever used
Once again the Tele Vue booth will feature the night vision demo we’ve put together with Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC). This time, however, the Tele Vue adapters and night vision monocular is already for sale on the TNVC website. The June, 2018 issue of Sky & Telescope has a 4-page review by Dennis Di Cicco, who lavished some high praise, writing “the system proved to be the most impressive visual light amplifying setup I’ve ever used… The versatility of this new light-amplifying observing system just might make it a game-changer in the world of amateur astronomy.”
