Why become an ASTRA member?

We are a local astronomy club in the Toms River New Jersey Area, open to anyone interested in astronomy, space sciences, and astrophotography.

• We usually hold monthly meetings that may offer guest speakers, presentations by members or by the Planetarium staff, and workshops on different aspects of astronomy.

• Star Parties - For those members who enjoy observing the skies ASTRA holds “Star Parties” (weather permitting).

• Astrophotography - We have members that are interested in astrophotography. They are willing to share their experiences and help those wanting to get involved.

• Club Loaner Telescopes - ASTRA owns several telescopes that club members can borrow and use for a month or two at a time.

• NASA Night Sky Network - ASTRA is in partnership with the NSN along with many other astronomy clubs across America, in providing the public with entertaining and engaging ways to learn basic astronomy concepts.

• Astronomical League - ASTRA is one of the many astronomy clubs with membership in the United States. By joining this optional membership with the Astronomical League you’ll receive the Reflector quarterly newsletter.
