don't forget it has an ad for Star Atlas Pro, there is even good reference stuff in there, like Jupiter with David Pretorius (sounds like a constellation?) ooh and a feature on large scopes (mustn't read that bit, must resist, but you can read it RodStar)

Houghy if through your numerous contacts at Sky and Space you could get Dr Naomi McClure-Griffiths to sign {pg24} the mag I'd be quite happy to up the ante :whistle: :D {not to say your celebrated signature is any less significant :thumbsup: }
