Our next general meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time at Ojibway Nature Centre located at 5200 Matchette Road, Windsor.

Our November meeting will feature several speakers. First, our president, Steven Pellarin will present the story of the life cycle of main-sequence stars through a celestial tour of interesting objects in the northern constellation Cepheus. Treasurer, Grant Maguire, will give a short talk on the international decision to do away with the "leap second" and how it not only effects time-keeping but also our daily lives.  Member Michael Dufour, from the Directorate of Observing, will be providing our monthly look at celestial events and highlights. A reminder to members that we will also be holding elections at this meeting. There's still time to nominate people for elected positions!
