To Annette re. more articles like the Horsehead piece

Hi over there, ever'body . . .



I spotted Annette's note in the comments section of the HH in Orion. She asked where there might be more articles like this. Dana De Zoysa and I produce the Astro. Society of S. Africa's online deep-sky journal "Nightfall". It is a quarterly large-format all-colour "magazine" and is filled with articles like the HH piece, plus a lot of general articles such as a recent 150th anniversary tribute to Henrietta Swan Leavitt, the oldest star chart in the world (Chinese, 7th century), and a piece about astronomy typography in the early days of print before Newton. Here are links to all the articles Dana & I have produced since we started October last year:
