United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey

The United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey (UACNJ) is a nonprofit organization formed in 1988 as a consortium of amateur astronomy clubs in New Jersey, dedicated to promoting and supporting astronomy through collaboration and communication among its members. UACNJ has been providing weekly public programs since 1994 at its observatory located in Jenny Jump State Forest, showcasing a range of astronomical displays and engaging activities.

With a commitment to education and outreach, UACNJ hosts events such as Astronomy Day and Family Astronomy Field Day, and actively participates in major astronomical events like the North East Astronomy Forum. The organization is run entirely by volunteers and relies on donations to maintain its facilities and support public programming, while also managing a variety of telescopes at one of New Jersey's remaining dark sky locations.
