If you could only subscribe to one, which would it be and why? Sky &
Telescope or Astronomy. I'm college educated, if that means anything.
Thank
you.
Cordially,

I am not subscribed to S&T or Astronomy, I buy them regularly though. for
example: the jan 2004 issue of Astronomy is an excellent issue, with many
interesing articles, I tend to read every article and in my opinion both
mags are excellent. Which one I buy depends on the contents of that issue.
I
agree with others in this thread, that S&T is slightly more technical. The
problem with both mags is of course that all ads in the mag mention prizes
of scopes that are not relevant to the prizes in my country (the
netherlands), dutch prizes are about twice as much as US prizes :-(

Sky and Telescope is coming out with a new bi-monthly magazine called
Night Sky. It is designed for the amatuer backyard astonomer. The first
issue will be May/June. I think this is a great idea for people who love to
observe but do not want all the technical data.
