We'd love to see more submissions into both the meeting and AstroNotes with observation reports for the challenges -- the reports need not be photographs, they can be sketches, field notes, etc. Be sure to send them to me for inclusion in the next meeting at meetingchair[at]ottawa.rasc.ca

The video of the December meeting of RASC Ottawa Centre, to be found here on YouTube. Although there was no guest speaker, Brian MacCollough managed to take us on a very personal journey of the impact of the Apllo 8 mission 50 years ago has had on his life, while Rick Wagner covered the details of RASC Observing Programme for Messier Objects.

The video of the November meeting is now on YouTube here. This includes the presentation by November's guest speaker, Benjamin Gerard, a PhD candidate at University of Victoria specializing in imaging and spectroscopy of extra-solar planets, as well as the regular obervers' reports and monthly challenges, which are still worth trying even if now out of date!
