Suncoast Stargazer member Kaya Lewis is an illustrator, game designer, author, educator, astronomer, and overall wearer of many hats. A lifelong nerd of all sorts, her work tends towards the fantastical and spooky. This month, Kaya will be sharing a look at astronomical art throughout history, and the connection between art and science that is far deeper than any of us really tend to acknowledge.

High Point Scientific Owner Robert Dugan will join us to talk about his company. In working with High Point over the years, I have seen the continuous and accelerated growth. Dating back to the early days as the “successor” to Pocono Mountain Optics to the clear industry leader today, the High Point Scientific story is one of steady growth combined with a keen sense of recognizing opportunities and strategic risk taking to maximize those opportunities. This is a great opportunity to hear about the business side of the hobby that we all love so much.
