What is a Star Party? A star party is a gathering of amateur astronomers for the purpose of observing the sky. BAS, being one of the most active Amateur Astronomy Club conducts several star parties throughout the year. The venue chosen for such an event will be a dark place away from the city lights so that one can observe the faint celestial objects.

Do I have to bring a telescope? If you have telescopes, binoculars, cameras, tripods, please do bring. But they are not mandatory. We will have our own telescopes and binoculars which you can use.

Keemale a 250-yr old estate nestled between the lush greenery of Karada, 20km off Virajpet. Many previous star parties here at the same time have been witness to the
breath-taking Skies & Nature!
