UACNJ Observer Form and Public Program Schedule

Following is a summation of the benefits and obligations of being an Observer at the UACNJ Observatory at Jenny Jump, as well as this years' observer form which you can print, complete and mail in. The questions on the form are to help us organize our programs as well as get ideas for the future of the facility. Observership is open to any member of a UACNJ Club.

Observership Benefits:

	The gate and house combinations allows you to use this dark-sky facility whenever you wish for your own observing, astrophotography, or astronomy projects 365.25 days/year. (The facility has a full kitchen, bath, overnight bunk rooms and security cabinets available to Observers.)
	News updates on UACNJ Egroups and in UACNJ Newsletter.
	You are eligible to become qualified on the 16-inch telescope (as well as new instrumentation as it is installed).

Observer Obligations:

	$20 (or $25) annual fee (see below)
	Be available on at least two nights for public duty per year (Saturday evenings - see observer form)

Observer Fees: $20 for Regular Observers ($25 if not from a UACNJ observatory "supporting" club), $50 for Sustaining Observers (those who wish to help us support the facility). All observers must be members of an astronomy club - there are no at-large Observers.

(Note: The UACNJ is a Non-Profit tax exempt educational organization. Since all observer fees are used to support the facility, they are tax deducable (as are any other contributions).

Checks should be made in the appropriate amount payable to:

United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey, or UACNJ.
