Question 1

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but they must be leashed, and you must pick up after them.

Question 2

Do I have to come early to see the program?

Accepted Answer

No, you can skip the program and view through our telescopes afterwards.
We do ask that you arrive early though as parking is limited, especially after the program has begun.

Question 3

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

You can join us on live on YouTube for the program. Links for YouTube will be posted on social media at approximately 7:50pm

Question 4

Do you provide seating?

Accepted Answer

No, the program is outdoors and you must bring your own chairs/blankets to sit on.

Question 5

Is the program handicapped accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no ramps required to view the program and we have preferred parking near the program.

Question 6

Can I see the stars if it's cloudy?

Accepted Answer

That depends... While we are on a mountain top and have the latest in optical technology, we have yet to find a "cloud filter" that can filter out the clouds.

However, we can show you stars we have previously taken photos of in lieu of live views of the stars.

Question 7

Are you open to the public on other nights?

Accepted Answer

Unfortuentely, we are only open to the public on on Saturday nights 8-130 from April until the end of October.

However, if you join UACNJ as a volunteer/Observer, you would have access to our facilities any time. See here for more info: http://www.uacnj.org/membership.php
