It was established in 1998[1] by John Luis Perdrix, after the Australian Journal of Astronomy was discontinued. Until 2005, it was published by Astral Press, a publishing house founded and owned by Perdrix.[1][2][3] From 2005 to 2012 it was published by the Centre for Astronomy (James Cook University). Since 2013, the publishing institute is the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand.[4] All papers are now published electronically and all papers from 1998 to the present can be accessed through the journal's website.
