The first Astro mag I ever bought was S&Space and so they got my subscription, I went on to win another sub as Astrofest this year.
I've always bought Sky and Telescope as well but haven't subscribed yet. If IIS members are eligable for subsidised subs, I'd be in on it. I don't belong to any formal astro society because they are all toooo far away to attend meetings. This is the beauty of IIS, bringing us loners together.
If one of the Yank astro mags has any interesting articles, or I just need a fix, I'll buy that as well.
I went to the Lifeline Book Fest at Caboolture the other weekend and picked up some beaut astronomy books. Two are by Patrick Moore- The Story of Astronomy and New Guide to the Planets. As well as 5 books of the series Voyage Through the Universe, Astronomy Today and Book of the Universe. All for between 50c and $2 each. Value!
