I just got a copy of the latest AS&T. Had a quick flip-through. Lots of interesting looking stuff in this issue. Looks like maybe the best so far.. Tour of eta carinae region! :cool: Now I can put some catalogue numbers to those impressive clusters I've been staring at. New to this issue is a DIY scope mods article. (+ Andrews launching a full frontal assault on the competition with their first ad in AS&T)
There's an awesome pic in the readers' photos of the Rosette nebula composed from 4 hours worth of filtered exposures. There is also a cute little Jupiter, taken with a single 1/15 second shot. (I tried to get one like that with my newly acquired 2nd hand digital camera but I couldn't see anything.) I would encourage everyone here who dabbled in astrophotography to submit their images to one of the local mags. You too Ken! :P It's nice to see people's efforts recognised with their work in print.
