Re: High Point Scientific January 2023 Report
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 fromBH Photo in NYC.
No wonder my wallet was always empty

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.
