 '''Public Observing/Star-Gazing Nights''' [[BR]]
 
-We try to do a star-gazing session every two weeks on the roof. Each star-gazing night is coupled with an astronomy talk and a slideshow. The talk/slideshow is especially worthwhile when the sky is cloudy, which is usually the case (only 1 in 4 nights are clear from NYC). Traditionally it has been Friday nights; however, transient events like eclipses, transits, and comets demand alternative scheduling. [[BR]]

 We currently have a healthy core of observing volunteers, but it's always good to have different faces, so sign up (or just show up to see what it's like)! If you are unfamiliar with our equipment, training sessions with the veterans can be arranged.[[BR]]
 
 These are a lot of fun when the weather cooperates. Turnout is typically around 40 people - a mixture of Columbia students, local families, and enthusiasts.
