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!
For information on joining our club - please click on "Join NJAG" on the menu above.
The NJAG is a member of the
United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey (UACNJ)
...and the International Dark Sky Association (IDA).
MEETINGS - Our monthly meetings will be on the second Tuesday of the month and are held at Montclair State. Many of the previous meetings are posted on our YouTube Channel. See our event calendar for upcoming meetings and stargazing events.
STARGAZING - Check the event calendar for upcoming stargazing events. Note: due to bright moonlight we do not have an event scheduled for the Perseid meteor shower. If you want to get a good view of a meteor shower, the moon phase is favorable for the Orionids (late October) and the Geminids (mid-December).
