Moscow Astronomy Club (MAC), back in the past called Moscow Amateur Astronomy Club (MAAC), was founded by Constituent Assembly in January, 1994 on basis of common agreement of 90 amateurs from Moscow and Moscow region. MAC declared as independent, non-political and non-commercial organization with the main objective to unite individual amateurs for intercommunication, observations, mutual help and progress of amateur astronomy in Moscow and Russia.
The main club activities were chosen as follows: sky observations, computing, telescope making and educational work.

MAC works in according with Club Statute signed in January, 1994. The main form of Club life is General Meeting. GM also is the main body of Club's authority which is working on principles of democracy. Each member of MAC has a right to submit any question for the approval of other members and resolution on this item passes by plurality. In May, 1996 Club name changed from MAAC to MAC.
Another form of activity is observing expeditions to places located out of Moscow border, i.e. to Moscow region, and to other regions of our Country. Three trips to the Moscow region took place during this period, each up to 20 peoples, and 7 expeditions to Caucasian mountains, SAO observatory (up to 8 people each).
Club coordination work between General Meetings is arranged by Club Council. It consists of three Councillors. Council is elected once a year and gathers when need, but not rarer than once per month. Council and General Meetings are managed by the Head or his Deputy.
