Periodicals
There are a number of excellent monthly periodicals that cover a wide range of topics of interest to amateur stargazers. Some options to consider include:
| In the US: | Sky & Telescope: | www.skyandtelescope.com |
| and Astronomy: | www.astronomy.com | |
| In the UK: | Astronomy Now: | www.astronomynow.com/magazine.shtml |
In addition virtually every nation supports its own amateur astronomy magazine, and local amateur clubs publish regional newsletters. They are great for keeping you in touch with what's visible, and what's available, in your area. Check your local library for copies.
