Our cover picture ...
… shows a stellar snow crystal. Stellar snow crystals were a real rarity in the Hanover area in the winter of 2015/2016. Although it snowed somewhat more often than in the two previous winters, the precipitation mostly consisted of elongated, rimed needles. One of the few exceptions was the snowfall on 3 January, when this picture was taken. Camera: Canon EOS 1000d, standard lens EFS 18 to 55mm reverse mounted. Background: an ordinary blank CD.
