We are an enthusiastic group of amateur stargazers who get out and observe any chance we get.  The talents of our members range from purely observational astronomy, lunar and planetary observation, sketching of astronomical images to planetary and deep sky photography. 

We are a group of amateur astronomers who live in and around the Brazos Valley of Texas.

We are interested in sky watching, imaging, and sharing our craft and love of astronomy with each other and the public at large.

The purpose of BVAC is to provide astronomical education, recreation, and research for its members and the public. We get together for star parties as well as club meetings with invited guest speakers to talk about astronomy and astrophysics.

The BVAC is a non-profit group promoting astronomy and related science as a hobby for people of all ages in the Brazos Valley. BVAC is organized and operated within the guidelines and exclusively for the purposes described in Section 501(C) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

No commercial enterprise or candidate for public office shall be endorsed by the BVAC. Neither the name of the organization nor the names of its officers in their official capacities shall be used in any connection, partisan, nor their sectarian interest.
