The '''Bangalore Astronomical Society''' ('''BAS''') is a society of [[Amateur astronomy|amateur]] [[astronomer]]s and other interested individuals, headquartered in [[Bangalore]]. The primary objective of the BAS is to promote and popularize [[Astronomy]] as a [[hobby]] and [[science]].<ref>http://bas.org.in</ref>

== History ==
The society was founded in 2006<ref>https://basblog.wordpress.com/about-us/</ref> and registered as not-for-profit organization. In the initial days, members used to meet virtually over [[Orkut]]<ref>https://basblog.wordpress.com/about-us/</ref> and then eventually they decided to form a not-for-profit organization.

BAS today is an informal volunteer-run group and is active through the [https://groups.google.com/g/b-a-s BAS Google Group], a [[Telegram (software)|Telegram]] group,and through its [[Star party|star parties]].<ref>http://bas.org.in</ref>

== Working Philosophy ==
Most of BAS Administrative tasks and its activities are handled by its volunteers. Volunteers hail from different walks of life, most being working professionals or students. BAS neither employs nor provides stipends for anybody involved in its activities or administration.

== Activities ==
BAS's activities broadly fall under Observing, Instrumentation, Outreach, Workshops and Meetings respectively. BAS Activities are normally open to one and all. BAS organizes, motivates and encourages its members to volunteer in Astronomy popularization and outreach initiatives. BAS Activities are normally announced and promoted solely on the web and sometimes with voluntary intervention from the media.

In light of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, BAS organized many virtual talks and webinars in year 2020<ref>http://bas.org.in/</ref> to help keep enthusiasts engaged during the lockdown phases. The talks were recorded and uploaded to the official YouTube Channel.<ref>https://groups.google.com/g/b-a-s/c/MY3q138ZFTk</ref>
