BAS believes that the purchase of Equipment and telescopes will prove useful to most of its members. The creation of such a Library will enable people to overcome the massive barrier of having to 'Own Quality Equipment' and begin their journey in Amateur Astronomy with BAS's TELESCOPE LIBRARY. As a first step towards creation of a telescope Library for its members BAS has entered into some agreements to obtain a few telescopes (including the 17.5" Discovery Telescope).
However BAS being an NPO is primarily funded by individuals who share the Passion and love for the Subject and people who seek to help in the popularization of Astronomy. So, it is rather difficult for BAS alone to purchase or acquire such equipment without the help of her members. BAS thus request her members and well wishers to support in the creation of Equipment Banks. Your help and contribution will be highly appreciated by the Astronomy community.
