Welcome to the new Astronomical Society of Edinburgh Journal! Some of you will have known the journal in it’s previous incarnation as a quarterly publication distributed to members of the Society. As it was no longer an option to continue in this form, it was decided that an online journal would provide us with the chance to easily reach members with news of the Society and updates on events we have been involved in, as well as providing members with a forum in which to publish articles on their interests and research within astronomy. We all hope that this will prove a useful tool for members and that it will allow us to continue the journal, albeit in a new form.
