What is The BAS

The Bangalore Astronomical Society (BAS) is a registered, non-profit amateur astronomy organisation based in Bangalore, India.

The Society grew out of a community on a popular social networking site and collaborated with other e-groups to come together as an organisation. The society had been functioning informally for months before it registered formally on Nov 6th, 2006.

The group intends to create a base for all amateur-astronomy related activities and to popularise astronomy as a science. The group meets up monthly and conducts observing sessions and public skywatch sessions on a regular basis. The society also conducts Telescope-making workshops, Sessions and courses for School children. Further Information about the club's activities are available on the Activities page.
