Thats the most accurate statement thats been made in this entire thread.

I agree and I would hate to see that happen, I enjoy both Mags immensely. I am a subscriber to AS & T and have been buying S & S off the newstands since the early 1990's. I also have all 8 editions of Southern Astronomy, what happened to that BTW.

In conclusion:-

AS & T more local content is a must.

S&S learn to get the Magazine out on time.
