Membership and Observership

The UACNJ, as stated on our home-page, is a consortium of astronomy clubs. Club Membership in the UACNJ may be made by any New Jersey astronomy club (or a club from a bordering state whose membership includes New Jersey residents) that has been in existence for at least one year. Club Membership is $25 per year per club. FOCUS, the UACNJ newsletter, is mailed to each club representative in hopes that it will be reproduced with the local club's newsletter. A copy of the speakers bureau is distributed regularly to each club.

Club Supporting Membership for the Observatory at Jenny Jump is an additional $1 per member per year ($10 min.). Supporting clubs may hold regular club star parties at Jenny Jump.

Observership at Jenny Jump is open to any individual who is a member in good standing of a UACNJ member club. The annual dues are $20 for members from UACNJ supporting clubs, and $25 from members of non-supporting clubs. Also requisite are two nights of public duty per year. Sustaining Observership is $50. Observers have access to the observatory (and sleeping accommodations) at any time to observe or do research.
