I was always under the impression that they were named after the Amateur Astronomers Supply Company, the former trading name of Astro Optical Supplies. They were of good quality and a fair bit cheaper than their Unitron's and probably were a mixture of Towa, Carton, Tasco etc. A bit like Bintel who rebadge various telescopes from over the water.
