Here's medley including a description and a sample slide or two from my 7 most popular astronomy / night sky related presentations. Contact me if you like a live performance of any of these. I'll go anywhere, ride in coach-class, and sleep on a cot if it means I can heighten awareness about night sky preservation and/or climate change! NOTE: the title slides appears several times because it's a navigation slide -- allows you to hyperlink to any show in the medley at any time. Enjoy!
