Thanks to Kuky and Myamiphil.

I am quite happy that the NJAG's Dark Sky Observer is online. These newsletters have sat for many years in archive. Perhaps former members will find them and contact us.

This is just a reminder that the North Jersey Astronomical Group's Annual Dinner will be on

Cost is $28 per person.

I went to see the gardens up in Ringwood today.  It's really beautiful.  The annuals and perennials are still in bloom.  You can spend quite a bit of time up there.  Member Maja Britton advised us to see the new scale model of the solar system that runs the length of the Crab Apple trees. 

There seems to be some controversy up there with caterer renting Skylands Manor. 

Calling all members new and old.  The NJAG would like to greatly expand the online archive of this publication. 

If you have copies you can scan, please contact us so we can learn what copies you have.  The Group has been around for over 25 years.  Wouldn't it be great to have this before the end of the year?
