Hello Jose:
This link: http://skyandtelescope.com/aboutsky/guidelines/default.asp
will get you to our general guidelines for submitting to Sky&Telescope. As
I'm the person who ends up working on your shots if their accepted for the
magazine here's a couple extra hints that'll help us to get the best quality
out of your image.
First, make sure you have all the corrections you want done to your image
and then in Photoshop hold down the CTRL key and press the Y key, this will
preview your image in CMYK which is the color space the magazine is printed
in. If your image colors change a little bit don't worry about, if they
change drastically then please go back and tweak the image so the color change
isn't so drastic. I can do amazing things with color balance but if the color
shift from RGB to CMYK is too drastic your image will not print with the kind
of color range and tones that you envisioned.
As long as your submiting a CD then your 20mb file should have the
dimensions set to about 8x10 and the dpi to about 300, this should be your
final image. Since there's a rather involved approval process make a second
folder on the CD of "Thumbnail" images. You can resize these from the original
and make them around 100-150 dpi and maybe around the size of a 5x7, that way
the editors can look it over and then decide if they want to use the full res
image.
Remember to check the link above and I'll be looking to see if any of your
images makes it all the way to my desk.
Good Luck

Hi everyone. This is a quesyion for all those
guys that have sent astrophotos to Sky and telescope magazine sometime. I
want to sen some pictures and
they (from the magazine) never
answer me about how to send the pictures. I have all my pictures scanned in
TIFF format (around 20 Mb for a color shot).
Many thanks
