Hi Milton,
I believe the Lumenara rep's name is Thomas Maroney.

I didn't get to spend a lot of time inside at the exhibits - the
solar
star party was big and crowded - I had a two scope solar rig to
attend
to. It did occur to me that a representation of The Imaging Source
cameras and Astro IIDC would have been a nice addition. The folks
at
Adirondack Video Astronomy had the Lumenera cameras (and a rep
from
Lumenera) out on display.
You don't recall the name the Lumenera rep do you? I might know
them.
I used to work with the guys who started Lumenera. We left the
same
Ottawa camera company within the space of about 3 weeks of each
other. Back in 1999, I was pushing the company we were with to
look
at marketing the high speed imaging end of Astronomy (they used
CMOS
sensors then, not good sensitivity but very cheap to purchase at
1280x1024 sizes), but the VP and others did not see any market for
it.
NEAF is an interesting venue to visit - especially if you are in
the
market for new equipment. Almost everyone in the industry is
there
with
their wares.
The Imaging Source guys from North Carolina would not be able to
attend as they are no longer with The Imaging Source. TIS have a
distributor in the USA, but the main office, support and technical
end are in Germany.
And we don't make enough on sales of Astro IIDC to cover the cost
of
even paying for registration to such an event, let alone air fare
or
hotels.
