Members of the Halifax Centre are invited to join our email discussion list.  This is by far the best way to keep up to date with late-breaking astronomical news and gatherings of fellow observers at the St. Croix Observatory. Our mechanism (email discussion list) for subscribing to this Halifax listserv was broken for some time, but it should be functioning now. You can also request removal from the list using the same link. Note that some or all of the email from that server might be considered junk/spam, so please check those folders for submissions. We have yet to figure out how to make the mail not be considered spam. Sorry about that.

The Search menu has been enhanced to include PDF documents.
