JERSEY STARQUEST 2010
Hope, New Jersey
October 8, 9 & 10
The 2010 stargazing and astronomy meeting event of the fall season is fast approaching!
Jersey StarQuest 2010 takes place at the Hope Conference Center, situated on a Warren County hillside overlooking Little Silver Lake, with 125 acres of forests, wetlands, fields and lawns. The facility is not far from exit 12 off of I-80 westbound.
StarQuest is now an autumn event, continuing a great tradition (our 20th year) of exciting daytime activity including swap meets, fishing, good food and valuable prize drawings. And after dark? A forest of telescopes, CCD imaging, deep sky observing, mini Messier marathons. A New Jersey astronomer's paradise.
