Go outside and discover the many galaxies in the constellation Canes Venatici with Michael Wall's deep-sky observing guide. DeWayne Bartels provides insight into how astronomers share the hobby with others. The magazine's graphic artist Steve Ellwood is the subject of this issue's member spotlight, and he shares his photography experiences and a collection of his favorite images. Other highlights include a continuation of Jon Zander's "Repossessing Luna" series, a profile of historic astronomer Giovanni Cassini, and a word-scramble puzzle. Edited by Vincent and Kristi Trigili.
