Nightfall, South Africa’s online Deep-Sky journal

We are an online magazine of Pro-Am astronomy writing and images. Nightfall features in-depth articles written and illustrated by advanced deep-sky observers. We are interested in well-documented and illustrated articles written by Pro-Ams who produce serious content but leave out the equations and astrojargon. Here are the last two issues and a couple of our Special Reports:

Vol. 2 #3, October 2018

Vol. 3 #1, January 2019


Nightfall Special Report #2: Riding with the Valkyries, O Runaway Stars

Nightfall Special Report #1: The World's Oldest Sky Atlas

These may not yet available for full download but can be read online. Please spread the word. We are doing a huge amount of work to produce the most beautiful astronomy magazine there is. There are no ads to clutter it up. Nightfall is an all-volunteer effort so it's FREE.

Thank you, Jimi. From you, that means something.

If ever you want to write something for us, we'd be delighted. We're fully aware of how out-front you are. The email is assa.nightfall@gmail.com.

Pass on my regard to Steve G next time you see him. He's the greatest guy.

Wow, what beautiful publications! I'll make time to read the articles soon, but between the layout, illustrations and top shelf photos I imagine the writing is at least as good.
