North Jersey Astronomical Group
Welcome to the North Jersey Astronomical Group's web page. The NJAG is an astronomy club of almost 100 stargazers interested in all aspects of the night sky.
Since 1981, the NJAG has sponsored many activities for the public in Northern New Jersey, including weekly Telescope Nights and a monthly lecture series in the spring and fall plus special events. Tens of thousands of people have discovered the wonders of the Universe through our telescopes!

United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey (UACNJ)
...and the International Dark Sky Association (IDA).
MEETINGS - Our monthly meetings will be on the third Wednesday of the month and will resume in person at Montclair State in September 2022. Many of the previous meetings are posted on our YouTube Channel. See our event calendar for upcoming meetings and stargazing events.
