popped into AstroCATS

Ostap and I cut out from the CAO early. We wanted to catch a tail end of the AstroCATS show.

Saw Skynews, Khan, the RASC booth, Kendrick, the BYEOS booth, MallinCam, Starry Night, Astro Gizmos, iOptron, Vixen, Skywatcher, Camtech, Celestron, KW Telescopes, Telescope Performance Improvements, Starizona, and the DRAA booth. It was real good to see New Eyes Old Skies.

It was pretty impressive. Smaller, to be sure, than NEAF. But very good representation! Everyone seemed happy. Vendors, manufacturers, attendees.

Talk with the Kendrick crew for a while.

Chatted with Lonnie at Celestron. He seemed to be enjoying his Toronto visit.

Met Brady at KW. Chatted a bit. Thanked him again for supported our telescope clinic.

Hung out at the SkyShed booth for quite a while. Ostap and Wayne chatted for a long time. I spotted our original three PODs at the CAO in his banner.


Chatted with Wayne about the Max. I told him that I'd chat about it with the appropriate RASC TC people. He was very keen...

Saw a few RASC peeps: Ron, Denis, Patrick, Colin, Paul M, Paul G. I suspect there were quite a few more.

Hung around for the prize draws. They had some great items!
