The Jenny Jump observatory of the UACNJ (United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey, Inc.,) is one of the very few best remaining dark sites in New Jersey.
The UACNJ Observatory is located at Jenny Jump State Park in Hope, NJ and is owned and operated for use by amateurs only.
Many clubs which belong to the consortium have or will eventually have their own observatory for use by their club members and the general public from mid-April to the end of May.
Additional info can be obtained by writing to: UACNJ, 20 Helen St, Warren, NJ 07059
