luna 2011 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 i usually buy astronomy now as sky at night is a little harder to find here and i cant afford subscriptions either.i like sky and telescope but its more aimed at US readers.

Scott Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 i subscribe to s@n but how many others i buy depends on how bad/good the weather is and whether or not i've got a good book to readScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowjet Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Had S&N on subscription for years, with a smattering of AN and S&T as and when there was something of interest John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp thing Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I'll always buy "Sky & Telescope" if I see it. The rest I will often leave on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike73 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I subscribe to S@N but when it runs out I think I'II leave it and just pick up what ever mag looks interesting when I'm passing WHSmiths.Always got a good book of some kind on the go anyway so I'm never without reading material.

pwalsh61 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Re the 'C' word and wrapping : there already is! :-( I've also seen chocolate Santas (not to mention creme eggs but I guess since Kraft took over Cadbury's they figured on selling them all year round!)Might take a look at AN.One thing about S@N is the inclusion on the disk of an EQTOUR file for the deep sky tour (not that I've been able to make use of any so far). A nice touch.Paul Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualia Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 If you can read Spanish the magazine Astronomia is in my opinion a lot more in depth, researched, detailed and richer, than, say, something like the Sky at Night magazine. The latter comes across as a bit of a colourful-hip-glossy whilst the former tends to be a lot more serious, not only dealing with strictly astronomical issues per se but often directing them into a wider field of question and debate, opening up discussion on their philosophical, epistemological, ontological, geological, physical and sometimes political implications etc. Moreover, every month without pause, there's a section (a double page or more) given over to each of the particular interssts a reader may have, from Lunar and Solar and Planetary work and highlights, constellations, myths and legends, double stars, urban gazing, astro-photograpahy, DSOs and so on.

Mike73 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Has anybody read 'All about space'?I picked it up today and its really quite good, I enjoyed it a lot more than S@N to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganymede12 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yes, I read All about Space and Sky at Night. Sky at Night gives me my astronomy information for observing and All about space gives me the non-observing side of astronomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
