Re: [APML] Astronomy Magazine M8

["Mike Cook, AF9Y" <mwcook@concentric.net>]

Nothing published by Astronomy Magazine surprises me any more.
I saw the M8 and thought it was just a colorized black and white.
But it could also have been just another example of the terrible
color printing of their magazine.  Sky and Telescope has made
tremendous improvements in their color printing during the last
year.  Astronomy needs to take similar actions.
