'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.
It's 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 the magazine you’ll find subjects that have a more hands-on feel about them; experiences direct from one amateur to another.
The magazine has been designed so that one page at a time fits on your monitor, so there’s none of that messy scrolling up and down that’s required in so many PDF documents. Many of the articles have hotlinks embedded in them so you can jump straight to the relevant websites from within the magazine.
