First attempt at a Milky Way shot. Taken at Meek’s Cabin Reservoir, WY. Imagine fewer clouds, and happy stars reflected in the water. Maybe next time…

Last week we enjoyed a lovely day of socialising and networking with the groups of @mgblango.bsky.social and @slavi-jan.bsky.social. We broke into teams for a scavenger hunt and visited a palace outside Weimar. We were even joined by special guest @mulveylab.bsky.social while he was visiting!

Two rows of people wearing active or outdoors clothing stand in a lush green forest. One person in the front row holds a map of the area.

I did not know that such conferences existed. Seems like an asinine policy.
