Located millions of light years away from Earth, the patterns burst with colour but are unable to be seen clearly with the naked eye.

The 61-year-old sales manager, originally from Burnley, Lancashire, says: “My pictures are all long exposures of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters, which range in distance from thousands to many millions of light years away from Earth.
