Megan Laurenti will lead off by turning on the star dome and showing off a tour of winter constellations. If you have not had a chance to see the new Digistar 7 planetarium in action this will be a real treat.
Sean Curry has been following recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis. With over 1300 observations recorded with the AAVSO I am excited to see what Sean has to share about the Blaze Star.

In December 2021 we had a guest speaker Dr George Sowers. In his presentation on resources of the inner solar system we had a glimpse of how the asteroid belt and moon could be used to provide a wealth of materials for future space programs.
Check out the great presentation on hope for space development below.
The Observers notebook is a podcast about amateur astronomy.
Here they highlight the Astronomical League Programs (which our club is a member program).
