Aries Astronomy Magazine is the Derby and District Astronomical Society's own magazine. The articles (e.g. forgotten spacemen, nebulae, the 1999 eclipse of the Sun, CCD cameras to name but a few) are written by the members and the whole magazine is put together by me, Kevin Woodward. Aries Astronomy Magazine on line contains the main articles from the paper version, including some basic sky notes to assist with observing, missing out stuff like news (easily available elsewhere on line) and crosswords and newspaper cuttings.

It is vaguely supported by affiliate marketing, not particularly lucrative e.g. 1.5p per ask Jeeves search and 5% comission on books bought from Amazon or BOL (None so far as at Jan 2002, over 2 years after signing up to the schemes!). Please help where you can. I hope to get a payout to help with the phone bills in about 2005.

From the Autumn 2000 issue of Aries, I have given the magazine a new look. Hopefully it will mean the pages load faster and that navigation is simpler.

I would appreciate your comments about the Aries Astronomy Magazine via the guestbook. When you have finished here, why not visit the main site of the Derby and District Astronomical Society as well. To contact the society, see the editorial page of the Autumn 1999 issue of Aries magazine or make an entry to the guest book.
