Read the Digital Sky At Night Magazine for FREE!
I thought that I’d post this just in case it was of use to anyone.
Someone once said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but in this case there (pretty much) is.
All you need to do – if you haven’t already done it – is join your local library.
Of course, we all know that its possible to go to the library and pick a magazine off of the shelf and sit and read it, but in this high-tech world, they’ve taken it one step further.
If you have a library membership, and the RB Digital app installed on your preferred technology, you can “check out” many digital magazines, including the Sky At Night magazine.
I’ve provided a few links for some of the counties that surround Rosliston, but if yours is not listed, simply Google … [County] Library RBDigital i.e. Staffordshire Library RBDigital, and you should be able to find what you need.
