" The constellation Scorpius never rises high above our southern horizon here in Lowestoft. Pipp has made a valiant effort to capture some of the nebulosity that abounds in and around this constellation but has had a difficult job combatting the sky glow and light pollution that exists at low southern declinations. A hint of the reflection nebula IC4592 (the Blue Horsehead Nebula may be seen in the upper left of our image)". - Joel Cairo CEO of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
