Just a quick programming note and a speck of self-promotion.
Did you know you can use the Big Dipper, or the Plough, if you prefer, as a jumping-off point for ports-of-call all over the sky? Thanks to Sky & Telescope for running this web article I did about a bunch of things you use the Dipper to find. I hope you’ll check it out and I hope you like it!
I'm a mostly-self-taught, astronomy nut and writer in New York's Hudson Valley. When I'm not doing dad stuff, I'm looking to the skies and writing about it. I usually try to keep things light, easy, and fun around here. Oh, and I'm not a trained artist, all of those sky drawings are just my natural talent.
If you have anything you want to ask or see me write about, just let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks for stopping by!

Damn, man, sooooo jealous that you’re getting to right for S&T! Congrats.
Oh, thanks, Jon. Yeah… I’m amazed that they like my stuff enough to work with me, it’s a dream come true and a real honor and pleasure to work with them. You should think about pitching them something if you have an idea.
Nicely done. I love the way you make the sky so accessible and friendly!
Just so you don’t get dinged for this issue… the illustrator should update their star label for Alcor – it’s way off. It seems to be pointing at 83 Uma.
I didn’t do the art on this one, and the editors over at the magazine already emailed me to tell me they knew there was a mistake. I’m sure they’ll take care of it as soon as they can.
