Dear STARSCAPES.COM,   I just want to thank you for the opportunity to share with my students the wonderful universe first hand. The experiences that having a telescope in the classroom will provide are priceless, especially for my students who may not otherwise have this opportunity. Again, thank you for your generosity. May the stars be your guide!
