Links:
- Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton - This organization of 140 + promotes astronomy-related activities for members and non-members, novice to expert. A wide spectrum of astronomy interests are explored at the AAAP through regular meetings, workshops, use of the two club observatories, and regional star parties.
- Morris Museum Astronomical Society - In January of 1972, a Celestron Schmitt Cassegrain C-8 telescope was donated by Many Bhuta to the Morris Museum. Many had purchased the C-8 with terrestrial photography in mind, but soon found that the C-8 would prove to be unsuitable for his purposes. In those days, 8 inch Cassegrains were not as common as they are today, and back yard astronomy was still, for most people, a novel concept.
- NJ Night Sky - Amatuer astronomy and telescope building for beginner and up.
- Skyland Stargazers - Welcome to the home page of the Skyland Stargazers. We are a small group of dedicated amateur astronomer based in Morris County New Jersey. Please take the time to take a look around. The Skylanders are a sister club to the Morris Museum Astronomical Society.
