The South East Kent Astronomical Society (SEKAS) was formed in 1972 and is an enthusiastic band of about 100 members of all ages and backgrounds.
We share a common interest in the oldest, and ever changing, science of Astronomy. We undertake a wide breadth of activities, from visual observing, astrophotography by traditional means and by CCD and webcams, computing, telescope making, electronics to solar eclipse “chasing”, meteor watching, aurorae, lectures, solar observing, and public stargazing sessions.
Above all, the aim of the society is to encourage and expand each member’s interest in astronomy and promote a greater general understanding of the night sky and the universe we all share.
