Astronomy Magazines....

Hi all,

Im wondering whats the best astronomy magazine for beginners like myself? im subscribed to astronomy&space an i find that very good...but id like to read something else but when i go into the book shops there so many mags i dont know which one to get....can anyone point me in the right direction.....

BBC Sky at Night covers all the bases pretty well, Astronomy Now is as good but doesn't have a CD with it. Astronomy & Space is the magazine of Astronomy Ireland and is a good read, though a fair bit thinner than the big two.

The global biggie is Sky&Telescope and it's excellent - a mixture of articles and columes written by pros working at the cutting edge and amateurs like the rest of us... fumbling around in the dark and producing some prety startling results! I've been getting it for years. There's also Astronomy Magazine, though I've never really gotten into that one.

Thanks philip for that

Astronomy Now is my fav when I buy an astro mag.

Sky and Telescope puts all other popular level astronomy magazines in the shade.

No contest.

It is read from one end of this planet to the other.
