Telescopes "on parade" at the Astrofest trade stands
I have just been to this year’s Astrofest event in London. And I thought you might find it interesting, if I interviewed some of the traders, exhibiting at the event.
The event is a very busy couple of days for the exhibitors. So of course, the interviews had to be done quickly, right there on the trade stands.. no quiet, controlled studio environment, for this production! So please make allowance for the noisy, background sounds in the recordings.
I wanted to cover a variety of astronomy retailers and manufacturers. Here are the recorded interviews I captured, for you to listen to…
