Did you know that the Amateur Astronomers Association gather at the Lincoln Center on Fridays and Saturday evenings in August to stargaze? High powered telescopes are set up and people are invited to join them. Starting at Sunset until 11pm.
Also the AAA gather in Central Park for solar observing one Sunday afternoon in the month, at the 'model boat pond'. The telescopes they use have special filters for observing the sun.
