Astronomy Technology Today Magazine

I stumbled across this magazine when looking for a review on the Mesu mounts, and it is a great read.
All equipment reviews and some ATM and DIY articles and such. One for all you hardware lovers, it is only $10 per year

and you get access to *all* their back-issues as well. Must be the best value mag out there.

It is all via PDF unless you are in the US, but that suits me fine, it looks great on a tablet.

+1 I have subscribed for about a year. Good content.

I tried subscribing a while back and had issues with their site.
Just had another go and success!
Got two years for $20, gotta love getting 5 years of back issues in with the deal.

Cheers Peter for the heads-up on the limited-time $10 subscription price.
Pretty happy

Have the 2-year sub and downloaded all the previous issues and read them occasionally on the ol' iPad.

I've had an on-line subs for some years. But it's a DIY type setup. Small organisation, doing it for "love" I expect.

I remember to go online every couple of months to see if another edition is available.

I didnt get a confirmation either, but i had instant login access after paying via paypal

niko · #13 14-05-2012, 03:09 PM

All good. They got back to me saying I had access after payment cleared - seems they just don't send out a confirmation. Guess Eric is right - it's a small team

very happy though - downloading the latest now

Have been aware of the online magazine for a while, thanks to the chat on here and had tried to subscribe a few times but in my stupidity , had trouble navigating the site. Last night I finally worked it out and have now become an subscriber and now have some reading to do, lots of reading to do !
