RB (Andrew) · #1 12-12-2005, 07:27 PM

I just opened the latest AS&T Jan/Feb issue which arrived today by post.
Wow a free Hubble DVD included on the cover and a writeup by Mike about IIS.

Havn't had a chance to go through it yet but looks like another winner.
The US version didn't have a DVD, so well done guys.

PS Congrats Eddie T on your double page image of NGC 3132, as always, beautiful shot.

My front cover doesn't look like that anymore. I ripped the dvd off too quickly and...

janoskiss (Steve H) · #12 12-12-2005, 08:46 PM

Ah! That's a DVD? I thought it was meant to be a clever picture of a telescope mirror.

Starkler (Geoff) · #13 12-12-2005, 08:52 PM

Is the dvd a computer file disc or a video disc ? My pc doesnt have a dvd drive.

I actually did receive my copy today, it was hidden under the bills!

Had a flick through, looks like a nice issue again.

New forum member Reg Johnson got letter of the month (congrats!)
Zac Pujic has a nice image of Saturn (from last apparition) on page 48
RocketBoy has a nice photo of the partial lunar eclipse on page 53 (and again on page 69)
Bird's amazing Mars images from Snake Valley are also pictured on page 53
John Drummond has some nice comet images again, as well as an article talking about his observatory move, which features Robby in one of the pictures

My article is on page 73!
Zac Pujic also wrote a nice obituary for Erwin van der Velden on page 77
There's a group shot from QLD Astrofest 2005 on page 85, and I can see Paul (ponders) and his famous hat on the right hand side, as well as h0ughy, astro_south, jjjnettie and more

Eddie T has a brilliant shot of the eight-burst planetary on page 92.

Congrats to all that got their stuff published.

Some good stuff to read in there, tomorrow!
