Australian Sky & Space: Missing inaction
Anyone heard anything about the next edition?
By my reckoning, the May/June edition should be out soon (ie, before July).

Well I got the AST today and although the mag looks good with some nice articles the CD makes a good drink coaster, unlike the Hubble DVD they put out on the cover a few months back this one's not really worth the effort, BTW, just before you get excited about this disk, it is for computers, not DVD's. S&S I dont subscribe to so mine is definately missing.

Hello! S&S and AS&T are two different mags! For S&S to be late is normal.

Buy the way, the disc that came with Sky and Telescope, is not a happy little disc at all.....i just turffed it out, and deleted the whole program, it dosn't like doing what it's asked, so it decides to freeze the computer.
Turned the machine off at the button, re started, got rid of the program, and and the disc......all is well again.

Did anybody read the panel at the bottom of page 8? it says that the responce to the mag going bimonthly was exceptional!, they obviously did not read the forum on iceinspace which went for quite some time, and in my opinion was very negative towards this happening, as I said in one of my posts people subcribed for eleven issues A YEAR, not eleven issues for TWO YEARS.
There are some nice articles but very little observational astronomy, it is a good forum for getting iceinspace members photo's published,but as a true astronomy magazine it leaves a lot to be desired.
This will be my last issue purchased

I am only 2 issues into my 11 issue subscription .... and although the aforementioned page 8 panel does state clearly they will refund in full unused portions of subscriptions to anyone (a fair policy in my opinion) I will stick to my subscription.
This does not mean I'm happy to have been forced to go bi-monthly - it just means they have twice as long in real time as before to convince me to renew my subscription when it runs out. I will be weighing this up even more carefully now.

l agree with Ron, some reasonable articles but it is moving away from observational astronomy as it relates to the amateur astronomer.

please read the thread's original post
Simple lesson on the English Language
S&S = sky and space
S&T = sky and telescope
are the two the same
NO
Please please keep to the original topic of the thread, as I cant handle being confused too much

HOughy, I think this thread has combined the two mags in the discussion, go to post #4 for the start of the confusion
