S&T, to which I've subscribed for many years. In some ways it has
improved over the years, in others it hasn't, but I still really enjoy
reading it.

Mercury, the journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. IMO
this is the best general astronomy magazine currently being published.
All the articles are interesting and have a high technical level without
being difficult. It also has a strong focus on astronomy education and
outreach, something many amateurs are interested and involved in. This
magazine alone is well worth the price of ASP membership.

Various professional journals, but I don't think that's really what the
original question was looking for.
