DAC'S
Mission is simple, we use pictures like this: knee braces for running we exist to bring the wonders
 of viewing the night sky to our club members, and guests. And, if they have knee pain or knee troubles, we can help with a good knee brace. We know what you need when your knee hurts. Try this link.
 
 We use our own equipment and are mostly
 hobbyists with a passion for the night sky!

We are interested in growing our club with new members.
 
If you are of any age ,
enjoy telescopes and want to share your enthusiam with others,
please consider getting involved.
We'd love to have you join us. It's Free!
 
All you need is your own scope or use one
of ours, and a few free nights.
