The zodiac series was originally issued in a 1000-piece glow-in-the-dark version, then at the end of 2005 in the 500-piece super-vivid hexachrome, glow-in-the-dark version. Although the 1000-piece versions were discontinued long ago, amazingly some of them have reappeared in 2008, but it seems all of the series is likely to be discontinued soon, and Scorpio has already gone from the 500-piece series.
The ones listed are all that are currently available (as far as we know!), in zodiac order, 500 then 1000 pieces.

The zodiac sign is usually known as Capricorn, but on the puzzle Kagaya writes the Latin form "Capricornus", which appears to be more widely used in astronomical circles.

Kagaya Yutaka
Born in Saitama (just north of Tokyo) in 1968, Kagaya spent his childhood in wonderment of the stars in the sky, and never stopped painting them. He has had a successful career as an illustrator for astronomical books and magazines, and many of his works have been turned into jigsaw puzzles, among other products. Since 1996, he has worked exclusively in the digital medium, using a Macintosh. Perhaps that is why he does not appear to sign his pictures.
He goes by his family name; his given name appears to be Yutaka, but in English you will also find him called Joh Kagaya (Jô is the Chinese reading of his name).
The Kagaya Studio site includes lots more information, including some in English.
He has been honoured by having an asteroid (no. 11949) named after him. It's a long way away, but only a few kilometres across, so you could walk round it in a day.
(Here's the technical information)
