Registration required: Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory Jim Webster — Amateur astronomer and Astro-photographer from New Jersey, and has been a member of the Astronomical Society of the Toms River Area since 2017. His concerns about the impact of light pollution on astronomy and, more importantly, on nature led him to join the International Dark-Sky Association, becoming an advocate for them in 2021. One of the tools utilized to study light pollution was the citizen science project "Globe at Night" found on SciStarter. Jim’s interest in SciStarter and citizen science projects has expanded over time, becoming a SciStarter Ambassador in 2023. SciStarter and citizen science are now part of the growing number of available presentations he has on astronomy, photography, light pollution, and citizen science of both Earth and Space sciences. “I have been doing this for a few years and still consider myself a beginner and always will; there is always something new to learn.” This all fits into his interest in protecting the night sky, and as of 2026, we have established DarkSky New Jersey as a 501c-3, Protecting Our Night Skies, for People, Wildlife, and Nature. |

I pursue it and stalk it like a hunter. I try to capture it but rarely succeed. I want to hold it in my heart so much it hurts. Sometimes after completing a painting I walk out of the woods and feel like a thief, like I have stolen a moment in time. I take my trophy home to hang on my wall to remind me of the brief connection that the wilderness has allowed me. I realize then that I have been given a gift from nature. |
