The British Astronomical Association (BAA) was formed in 1890 as a national body to support the UK's amateur astronomers. Throughout its history, the BAA has encouraged observers to make scientifically valuable observations, often in collaboration with professional colleagues. Among the BAA's first presidents was Walter Maunder, discoverer of the seventeenth century dearth in sunspots now known as the Maunder Minimum which he achieved by analysing historical observations. Later, this spirit of observing the night sky scientifically was championed by George Alcock, who discovered five comets and five novae using nothing more than a pair of binoculars.

(ca) Die British Astronomical Association (BAA) ist der nationale Hauptverband der Amateurastronomen in Großbritannien. Die Vereinigung wurde 1890 in London von Amateur- und Berufsastronomen gegründet, um allen an der Astronomie interessierten Personen, unabhängig von gesellschaftlichem Rang und insbesondere Geschlecht, eine Basis zu bieten. Von Anfang an spielten Frauen, die erst ab 1915 der Royal Astronomical Society beitreten konnten, eine führende Rolle. So fungierte Annie S.D. Maunder (1868–1947), die Frau des Mitbegründers Edward Walter Maunder (1851–1928), lange Jahre als Herausgeberin des Journal of the British Astronomical Association.
