							THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO PREDICTED BAD WEATHER JERSEY STARQUEST 2009 Hope, New Jersey October 16, 17 & 18

					The 2009 stargazing and astronomy meeting event of the fall season is fast approaching! Jersey StarQuest 2009 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. Still not completely convinced? Come take a look at scenes from a recent Jersey StarQuest. Ever see a happier bunch of astronomers? This year's Jersey StarQuest will also be sharing an astronomy weekend with the neighboring UACNJ facility at Jenny Jump State Park.
