Ever wonder about the night skies in the desert Southwest of the United States? After actively engaging in astronomical activities in northwest NJ for the past 50 years and watching our once black skies fade to gray, our presenter has been pursuing projects in the Southwest USA under darker conditions at higher elevations and a drier climate. This talk describes site selection and development of his AZ and NM properties, and the astronomical instruments he has relocated to those facilities. And talk to members of AAI who are always willing to share their knowledge of astronomy.

And learn about Amateur Astronomers, Inc. the Astronomy club that makes its home at Sperry Observatory located on the campus of Union College in Cranford, NJ and how you can join. And, weather permitting, we will do observing through our 2 large telescopes, a 24 inch reflector and a 10 inch refractor.

Amateur Astronomers, Inc. (also known as AAI), is almost 77 years young and still going strong!
