Being a specialised hobby in a very small market (in terms of population), it is up to people like us to contribute to AS&T.
I did a quick write up of the Snake Valley Astro camp last year and managed to have it published. I also sent a blurb to the editor late last year of my visit to Keilder observatory. I got an acknowledgment, but no green light to write up the article yet.
It's always difficult to write local content because of the online reviews etc and the time lag between submitting an article, getting it edited and then finally printed. Plus we always fall behind in terms of product launches compared with US Europe and even Asia. So yes we do lack local content, but the exciting developments do happen (such as Mike's discovery of a new galaxy). It is up to us to write and for the editors to respond and publish.
My two cents.
