European Astrofest in Essen

Hi all,

It was an amazing show much larger then the UK event.

It is held in a big school and all the monies raised by charging a fee to
the retailers is given to the school science dept a nice touch I thought.

An amazing array of instruments, domes and much more, well worth a visit. So
if you get chance next year go for it.

I also picked up a Meade price list there in Euros I see you had a recent
thread on that. Was good to see all the new stuff in the flesh so to speak.

Just got to sort myself out now as off to the Paradox next week.

All the best & clear skies

Andy

Cheers

Andy
