Astronomy Technology Today Mag - one for the links section?

While I know IIS can't list everything in the Links section on the left, I have found the Astronomy Technology Today Magazine (online version outside of the US) to be a good read - basically all about astronomy/telescope equipment. A subscription is relatively cheap and you get access to all back issues. I'm of course not affiliated with the mag in any way, just wanted to let people know about it. While some equipment reviews are a little thin, I found the design of the new Hyperion imaging telescope (to rival the RC) to be an interesting read in the latest issue. Perhaps the link to this mag could be listed in the links section.

There was a very good article on Astrophotography in the March edition last year.
Exceedingly well written and informative.

Yes, I should have mentioned the mag looks at techniques as well as equipment reviews. A technique for creating "excellent" flat-field images is in the latest issue as well as a very interesting new focusing mask/method called GoldFocus Focusing system - again very interesting read.

I was very very proud to have been asked to contribute to the mag.
And I agree, it's an excellent magazine.
