The Fort Bend Astronomy Club is a non-profit organization located in Stafford, Texas, with members from Harris, Fort Bend, Waller, and Brazoria counties.

The mission of the Fort Bend Astronomy Club is observing, sharing, teaching, and promoting astronomy. We pride ourselves in our outreach efforts to schools, public, and private entities through our Astronomy on Wheels program, as well as providing expertise and volunteers to the George Observatory located at Brazos Bend State Park.  For over 30 years, we have engaged with over 200,000 people, and contributed to the scientific astronomy community, using our club-owned 18-inch aperture Newtonian reflector that is located in the East Dome of the Houston Museum of Natural Science's George Observatory.  We are currently in the process of by replacing this telescope with modern equipment. 

FBAC holds monthly club meetings, which are open to the public, we have a mentoring network, and members regularly get together to observe at the George Observatory.
