We host public star parties in New Jersey and participate in star parties hosted by other astronomy clubs and the Franklin Institute across the Delaware Valley area. Private star parties are used to train members on the use of telescopes, star charts and how to find, observe and photograph objects. Our education program for members includes in-depth training ranging from telescopes and star charts to stellar morphology and cosmology. Lectures, demonstrations and computer-aided teaching are used.
