Yes that’s where I bought my 10” DOB from the very reputable, I like their products and I really like this guy in the report that he put’s out every month, he’s very laid-back!
Thanks for responding and Happy New Year to you.

I used to live about 45 minutes from their store (I think they went online only last year) it was a fun place with very helpful folks, and they had lots of demo and trade in scopes for sale

I was also about 20 minutes from NEAF, that was always an experience.
The famous Edmund Scientific was about 2 hours away, I also worked about 300 ft away from BH Photo in NYC.

No wonder my wallet was always empty

Their store was is Wantage, NJ (Sussex county) it is named after High Point State Park.
I was actually unaware they closed the store untill last month, guessing the infamous 2020 did it in

I lived in Ringwood, NJ, next to Ringwood State Park, where the Rockland Astronomy club had one of it's dark sites. NEAF is held at the community college.

Thanks for the information I would’ve never known that they get the name High Point from a geographical location. Very interesting all the best to you my friend, and happy new year.
