We're all about Mars this month: discover why the once-wet Red Planet ended up as a desiccated dust bowl; see Mars at its brightest and best during opposition in April; and read expert guides on how to photograph and sketch it. Also this issue, we reveal how to create a stunning ultra-sharp lunar montage image; look at the UK's darkest skies; celebrate the 200th anniversary of the invention of the spectroscope; and review the giant Meade LX600-ACF 12-inch telescope with its new autoguiding system. Plus all the best sights to see in April's night sky.
