A publication for English-speaking intermediate and advanced amateur
astronomers has existed for well over 100 years: the bimonthly
_Journal of the British Astronomical Association_. However, for US
subscribers it is about five times more expensive, on a per-page
basis, than S&T.
Despite the provincial slant of many of its articles, the JBAA's
readership are spread among some 40 countries. And yet, the total
circulation is a paltry 2800 subscribers -- a telling statistic
that attests to the *lack* of any pent-up demand for astronomical
publications with elevated technical content.
Thanks for the tip, though. You may have just made that 2,801.
