North East Astronomy Forum (NEAF) April 28th - 29th, 2012

Custer Institute & Amateur Observers Society Attend The North East Astronomy Forum

Members from Custer Institute and Amateur Observers Society (AOS) shared a table at the 21st Anniversary Forum of NEAF which was held at Rockland Community College, Suffern, NY. It was a great event lasting two days with great speakers and everything Astronomy! Custer passed out info on our upcoming Astronomy Jamboree this fall and AOS handed out information on their organization. This was a great event to see all the latest in telescopes, solarscopes and astronomy related merchandise!
