The Sheep Hill Astronomical Association is a club based in Boonton, New Jersey. SHAA members run the Sheep Hill Observatory, located at the top of Ross drive. The Observatory features an 18 inch, f/4.5 Newtonian Reflecting Telescope.  Membership in the group is open to anyone with an interest in astronomy. The group hosts public viewing nights on the 3rd Friday of every month (weather permitting) and can be contacted to arrange group educational visits.  


SHAA began in the mid 1960's as the Booth Astronomical Association, named after Les Booth, a former Boonton High School principal. Booth taught night classes on astronomy and after he retired, his former students got together with him and formed the organization.
