The BCAS meets on the last Tuesday of every month except November and December. The public is welcome to attend.

The BCAS and associated WCAN clubs (see Area Clubs page) conduct public events at national, state and municipal park sites.
Keep checking this page for public star party and sunwatch announcements.  The BCAS is a non-profit organization; our events are FREE.

We assist new telescope owners with setup and operation, preferably by appointment. Preserve and read the dreaded instructions!
