These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.

— William Shakespeare

Join us at Wallisch Homestead, a nice dark sky site, to observe Saturn, double stars, star clusters, constellations, and more with NJAG member telescopes.

We will also be searching for meteors from the Perseid Meteor Shower! To view the Perseids, you may want to bring a blanket or reclining chair to comfortably get a good view of the sky. Click "more" below for additional info.

 

Observing begins at 9:30pm, but the Friends of Wallisch Homestead will be showing movies between 8-9:30pm. Join us any time!

 

Wallisch Homestead is located at 65 Lincoln Avenue, West Milford, NJ 07480. When you're on Lincoln Ave, keep an eye out for a large barn near the road. Park along the driveway or the road.
