Peter, thank you for this video. You are an excellent teacher and this has helped a lot. I did have some basic knowledge of Pix but this course is really helping to fill in the many 'black holes' in my understanding of how to use it.

Do you have a link to your deep space course you mention?

I disagree with you on the use of icons rather than the process explorer icons are there ready to be used
