MKDAS 2016

Amateur Astronomy in Milton Keynes
Home of the Milton Keynes Deaf Astronomical Society (MKDAS), aims to provide a forum
for the discussion throughout the years, we have helped many to gain
and grow an interest in Astronomy.
MKDAS is a thriving deaf society located in Emberton, near Olney.

Now we are a friendly group, with members of all ages and abilities, both followed by
practical observing when we have talks, slide shows and practical demonstrations, workshops and observing sessions.
