About BAS
The Brevard Astronomical Society is registered with the State of Florida as a not-for-profit corporation. We are open to the general public in order to foster interest and appreciation of astronomy through all appropriate means such as public star-observing sessions, presentations, and exhibits. We are eligible for participation in the service learning program available to BCC students.

We are members of the Night Sky Network and the Astronomical League. We are closely associated with the Brevard Community College Planetarium and Observatory , where we hold monthly meetings as well as various community outreach events.
Club Telescopes
Our members enjoy access to three loaner telescopes, which allow them to determine which type of telescope they would most enjoy purchasing. BAS owns a 6" Meade 6600 (model 8800 photo) Newtonian reflector, an 8" Dobsonian Orion SkyQuest XT8 reflector, and a custom-built 16" Dobsonian (large PDF manual) reflector.
