Brisbane Astronomical Society Inc.
BAS is a non profit Society of Amateur Astronomers involved in the joy of learning about, observing, and photographing the night sky.

The B.A.S. was formed by amateur astronomers who recognised the need for a society where the average person can explore Astronomy at a practical hands-on level.

Meetings
The Society meets on the SECOND Friday of each month in 2009 at the Kelvin Grove State College Library, Victoria Park Road, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane at 7.30pm. (Check the calendar for last minute changes).

The Library building is located close to the intersection of Victoria Park Road and Tank Street.

At each meeting a presentation is given by a guest speaker on a subject relating to Amateur Astronomy.

Public Field Nights
Our regular Public Viewing Nights are held on the Saturday night closest to the 'First Quarter' phase of the Moon each month. This is always a good time to observe the Moon as the craters and mountain ranges are shown in high contrast near the 'terminator' (the area where the lit part of the Moon joins the unlit part of the Moon).

The next public viewing night is on the Saturday, October 24th at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium from 6:30pm.
