About Monthly MeetingsRegular meetings open to everyone. They are held at Saint Mary's University in Room SB260 (Sobey Building). Meetings are held monthly (except July and August) beginning at 8:00 PM, normally on the third Friday.
A typical meeting consists of one or more feature talks. The main talks cover a variety of topics ranging from astronomical stamps to the latest advances in the space sciences. Shorter talks also cover a variety of topics such as: "what's up in the current sky", the latest astrophotographs by club members, or the unveiling of a new telescope.
Members may be found observing at the Saint Croix Observatory on almost every clear, dark night. Once a month, we encourage members to congregate at SCO, at which time newcomers are particularly welcome. Upcoming Observing Nights are:
