" Pip Stakkert is continuing to learn the 'ins and outs' of Affinity Photo software prior to capturing and developing images of the spring galaxies 'in and around' the constellation Virgo.  The eagle eyed will just about make out in the above image; the Flame, the Running Man and Horse Head Nebulae, as well as the more obvious Great Molecular Cloud". - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
