best mag

[luna 2011]

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.

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 read

Had S&N on subscription for years, with a smattering of AN and S&T as and when there was something of interest

I'll always buy "Sky & Telescope" if I see it. The rest I will often leave on the shelf.

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.

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.

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.

thats sounds great wish i spoke espanol thoughg

[Mike73]

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.

[Ganymede12]

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.

yea i have the 3 one they have done and it really quite gd but my Favourite mag so far is new scientist not all space and all included but still great
