Aust Sky and Telescope ads are out of date ! ?

The May / June AS&T is out at my Newsagent. Has a pic of Dawn at Ceres on the front.

The website for AS&T shows the April 2015 magazine, with the pic of an asteroid.

The "Advertisement" on IIS (generally on the right side of the page) shows the March (?) magazine, with M31 on the front.

Seems rather odd and out-of-date. Especially the website, which should reflect the current version.

Regards,

I know this is an old thread now and since the last post the October edition of AS&T has come out in newsagents and zinio. I would have thought the November issue should be out by now, but October is still the one displayed. Never mind about the website that has been out of date for a long time.

I sent an email to the editor asking when releases were planned, never heard a reply.

Does anyone know if the magazine is closing? I'd be sad if it did.

Thanks Neil, so it does. Hopefully it will be available electronically too. I do a lot of my observation planning from the various "targets" columns in the middle to back sections of the magazine.

I feel there is a real need for columns like that, which are targeted for Australian skies. I'd be quite sad if we lost the magazine.

Happy days!

Cheers.

You never know, Sky & Space vaporised overnight some years ago much to the disgust of paid subscribers. I notice Bintel haven't advertised in this mag for quite a while now?

Mine arrived in the post yesterday - at a quick glance there are quite a few interesting articles this month.

On iPad newsstand the latest issue is Aug/Sep and on zinio it is Oct. I prefer to get mine electronically, so I'll wait a few more days. Hopefully it will update on zinio at least.

To make things worse the news agent I dropped in on yesterday didn't stock AS&T, but they had Nexus! I find that so sad....

Bought mine today. Some newsagents insist on displaying them with the astrology mags
