Night Sky Observer
Photon is a new bi-monthly astronomy magazine which aims to fill the gap left by the regular printed magazines. The magazine is issued in PDF format and is currently only available for download. If there’s enough requests, we’ll consider providing it on CD as an alternative (for those with slow or no internet connection). The reason for it being a PDF is to keep the overheads on producing the magazine down. Photon is written by amateurs for amateurs, focusing on topics that relate directly to amateur astronomy rather than more esoteric, armchair-type subjects or other non-practical-related topics. Such topics are well served by mainstream magazines. In our magazine you’ll find subjects that have a more hands-on feel about them; experiences direct from one amateur to another. And we want this to be a magazine with an international flavor.
