Founded in 1988, United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey, Inc. (UACNJ) brings together a dozen amateur astronomy clubs from across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. We're not a club ourselves, but a consortium: a shared voice and resource for the thousands of people who share a passion for the night sky across the tri-state area. One of our biggest roles is getting astronomy out into the community. You'll find us at major events across the region, including Rockland Astronomy Club's North East Astronomy Forum (NEAF) every spring. And since 1994, we've been welcoming the public to our observatory in Jenny Jump State Forest every Saturday from April through October, completely free of charge.

James Cahill is an IT specialist by day, amateur astronomer & Astrophotographer at night. His work is shot primarily in Bucks County, PA but he also visits dark sky areas in Maine, Pennsylvania & other states on the east coast. His work in astrophotography ranges in nearby solar system objects, deep sky objects & wide field shots of our own galactic home, the Milky Way. James has just recently joined the community of Astrophotographers, starting to photograph his targets within the past 6 years.

James started with a webcam, imaging the Moon & planets. After that, he was hooked, adding equipment to start taking pictures of further away objects like nebulae, galaxies & star clusters. Pairing a digital camera & using the telescope as a "lens" has enabled him to take pictures of what has always been his passion, the night sky.
