Astroman (Andrew Wall) · #4 24-09-2005, 11:45 AM

no, no and no, no, no, buy all mags from the newsagent, when they are available.

I agree that AS&T is an awesome mag though Top of the line, brilliant.......

As mentioned in another post, I get AS&T, S&T(USA version), "the new" Sky &Space...and "Night Sky"

and pick up the occassional Astronomy or Astronomy Now or whatever other Astro Mag I see at the news agents...I am a "junkie"...

I subscribe to AS&T, and "Astronomy" and buy S&S as and when it appears on the newsstand

Usually manage to get the US Sky and Tel off the local library..like to read Sue French's writeups

Greg Bryant · #11 24-09-2005, 06:51 PM

Seeker,

Sue French has just written a book - "Celestial Sampler: 60 Small-Scope Tours for Starlit Nights". I'll see if I can find out how many of the tours are visible from these latitudes.

lol houghy, anyone can fake a profile...

i just hope this wonderful forum doesn't turn into a spam-fest for AS&T...certainly beginning to seem that way...!

good to see S&S still getting purchased though...

RB (Andrew) · #13 24-09-2005, 07:19 PM

I don't work there either but I'll be subscribing to AS&T too.
Way to go SpaceGeek.

I subscribe to AS & T, I signed up at the SPSP in March. I buy Sky and Space off the newstand when its available and have done since 1991.

I subscribe to both Aussie mags, but I saw the new S&S at the newsagents today but it's not in my letterbox yet.

fringe_dweller · #17 25-09-2005, 07:02 PM

I am purely a newsagent buyer - dont want any scrunched up damaged wet letter box versions - i like mine in mint condition

- i even go thru the stack at the newsagent and find the best condition one

sad!

and its not like S&S has really anymore competiton than they did before, seeing the US version is off the stands. i can tell you from my 10 year long experience with several astro friends - they usually always bought the S&T first/more often than bought S&S (when available). They arent astro mag addicts like me tho. I even have 3 or 4 issues of the old Southern Astronomy as well - that was an excellent mag

I Subscribe to AS&T & S&S, I Like both.
But I get a bit frustrated with "Lost In Space" sometimes though !
