I am just about to come off a subscription of Sky & Telescope in NOV 10. I double subscribed in 2004 to take advantage of a good exchange rate.

I briefly subscribed to both the US & AUS versions a few years back, but now need to make a call either way.

The Australian Sky & Telescope is $150 for 2 Years, approx NZ$182 for 16 issues = NZ$11.38 an issue.
The US Sky & Telescope is US $114 for 2 Years, approx NZ$159 for 24 issues = NZ$6.63 an issue.

This makes the Australian Sky & Telescope seem like bad value. However the US Sky & Telescope is not as good as it used to be...it's smaller in size and the magazine is steadily had less content in it. The August 2010 issue has 86 pages, while the June 2008 had 96 pages. I don't know much about the Australian Sky & Telescope recently. Can someone give me a 'heads up' on the latest magazine. I will go an buy a copy of the Australian S&T but just would like a opinion from you guys & girls.

I am leaning towards the US version. But could be swayed. What are the benefits of a subscription to the Australian S&T?

So what would you do?
