Sky’s The Limit invites you to an ice cream social on Saturday, May 21 to celebrate as Celestron—a leading designer, manufacturer, and importer of high-quality optical products—makes a major donation to the local Observatory and Nature Center project. Kevin Kawai and Michelle Meskill of Celestron will present a 14” C14 OTA Show Telescope and a CGE Pro Mount, their flagship premium mount.
