Welcome

BAS is a friendly welcoming society of approximately 60 like minded people of varying levels of expertise and ages.  Our twice monthly regular meetings held South of Basingstoke cover both the practical and theoretical aspects of astronomy.

Are any of these topics of interest to you - Visual astronomy, Astrophotography, EEA/EEVA, Exoplanets, Spectroscopy, Telescope making, or just an interest in all things related to Astronomy? If so, do join us at our next family friendly meeting.

You don't have to be a member to come along and see what we get up to.
