Thank you, Scott. It is lots of fun to hear from satisfied users of the articles. Lots to see and do in Canes Venatici.

Nice article. It might have been nice to mention "the Hockey Stick" galaxy NGC 4656 which is in the same field as the "whale galaxy" NGC 4631. Although fainter than 4631, it still looked nice when I first ran into it by accident in my newly-finished 8 inch f/7 in the early 1970's. Clear skies to you.
