"The weather continues both wet and windy at the Jodrell Plank Observatory. Worse still the Jet Stream has now decided to sit overhead. If this continues, I will have to ask the staff to take unpaid leave whilst our resident engineer Jolene McSquint-Fleming carries out essential maintenance on our extensive astronomical equipment. 

Our imaging engineer, Pip Stakkert, has spent an hour or two reprocessing old data obtained during the winter. The area of sky in and around Auriga is full of stars and nebulosity".  -  Joel Cairo CEO of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
