Re Sky and Telescope Magazine

Hello

I am enquiring as to weather the 'Australian Sky and Telescope' magazine is a subscription only magazine,or it can still be purchased at news agents.I recently had a astro image published in the magazine.The publisher sent me a copy,but my family and work colleges wish to buy a copy,we have looked in all the local news agents within a 200 km radius of home,and none available.So it appears only subscription,if there is any way we can purchase copies let us know.

I use to subscribe to this magazine,but after 30 years of buying astronomy magazines,was getting too many!,so rarely buy them now.

Thanks,Chris

If no-one in here knows, Email AS&T and ask them.

Or for a faster response call them.

Chris, See the Add on the RIGHT Hand side of the Screen re This months AS&T Your picture is in this months magazine.
It has been in the shops for about a fortnight, I picked up my copy last week
You will have to just find a news agent who sells it or it could have sold out already
Cheers

If your image is published, I thought you usually got a subscription as a reward. So you should get it?

Local newsagent here in Colac always has AS&T, Sky at night, Astronomy Now and Astronomy mags. Don't know who else but me buys them
Mind you, when travelling last year in Qld and I knew a new edition of AS&T was due out, it was hard to find. Eventually found a newsagant with a copy in amongst the astrology mags. In fact he had a section on his stand labelled "Science" and it was one copy of Scientific American and a bunch of creationist mags.

re Mag

Thanks for pointers fellow Icers.Ron-the link on this page does not work for me,yes-the good people at Sky and Tel did send me a copy,but a family member inter state wanted it,I did get a subscription for a few months.

I did have cartons of these magazines in a shed,but the floods damaged them,they went to tip,the better ones I sold.So I have no magazines here to get the phone number or email address.It does appear they are not available here in QLD via newsagent-Just my luck!,So if anyone could send the email address or phone number,that would be appreciated.C

Edit-thanks Eric for the link!

If you have your photo published then you will be given 3 months free subscription or 3 back issue of your choice. You can ask for 3 copies of the same issue you like
