NEAF stands for NorthEast Astronomy Forum ( and Telescope Show ). Each
year in either April or May, the event is hosted by the Rockland club
here in New York and is attended by about 1000 people, has around 70
vendors and lots of telescopes and accessories and great speakers
throughout the day.

Big Al is Al Nagler of Televue optics. Each year he has a booth
dedicated to selling his " BLEM Eyepieces ". They sell for roughly 1/2
or less than street price new. Optically they are perfect, they might
have a cosmetic flaw here or there. Still you certainly would not mind
owning them at those prices. Get there early, the lines are
LONGGGGGGGGGG !

No I don't know the 2000 date.
