The Bristol Astronomical Society is financed entirely from members subscriptions.

The society produces a monthly observing guide, BASIL, showing what can be seen in the sky that month. It is available at our meetings or can be downloaded as a PDF from the Basil page.
We also produce a society magazine - Eclipse - detailing members observations and other subjects of interest. We try to produce this magazine quarterly. The Magazine is available at meetings or a PDF version can be downloaded from the Eclipse page. (Copies of every issue are available)
A full series of talks and lectures are given by local and professional astronomers (see the programme page).
