Although I don't reference old issues of the magazine in articles as often as I used to, I wish I'd remembered to note that 1 page article in the 1st issue of AS&T!

Thank You for your response Greg
However I wonder if somehow you are missing the point. That is that in the first ever issue of "Australian" Sky and Telescope an achievement by an Australian was recognised but in the current edition which is specially flagged as a milestone 50th (and well done BTW) a foreign article on the same subject has clearly been lifted from the US version without regard.
Given that both issue No1 and issue no50 are significant I can't help but think that perhaps as Editor you should perhaps stay more in touch with your publication, and perhaps ensure a more "Australian" flavour in a matter such as this. Or more specifically in this case it would have been nice to see something like "Its fascinating to note that a similar article was published in our first edition, when an Australian achieved a similar result"
