Next Meeting

Our next general meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 7:30 pm Eastern Time at Ojibway Nature Centre located at 5200 Matchette Road, Windsor.

While our January meeting has traditionally been a "video" night, we do have a number of other important items to discuss, so the actual video portion of the meeting will be a short presentation on the soon-to-launch Artemis II mission to the moon. We will also be discussing an important change to the start time of our monthly meetings. Council is recommending that we move our meeting start time to 7 pm starting in February. There are several advantages to doing so. We will discuss and vote on this at the meeting tomorrow.

We will also be having a short slide presentation looking back at our 80th anniversary banquet. Also Nancy Ng will be presenting our Director of Observing Report on upcoming events in the night sky with a special feature on the Moon. So, you can see that we have a full and interesting schedule for tomorrow night. I hope that you can join us!

BTW, minutes taken at our last meeting back in November will be found in our January edition of the Aurora newsletter - this will be sent to you by email later on today if all goes well. Thanks to Sandy and Tara for their diligent work on the newsletter.
