Variable Star Section
The VSS was formed in 1890, the year the BAA was founded, with the aim of collecting and analysing observations of variable stars. The Section is run by a small group of Officers who deal with various aspects separately but meet at intervals to discuss and decide future plans and policy. Feedback to members is through the VSS Circulars published four times a year and through the BAA Journal.
The Variable Star Section external website is currently being transferred to this site. During this process, this site will remain active. Because of this, work in progress will be visible. When the transfer of an item is completed you will be notified in the update below. 26/07/2018.
