Picked up the telescope after a while. Some issues with guiding and calibration but decent test over all. Part of the Veil nebula (and ancient supernova remnant). NGC6960. 🔭: 150mm Newton. Total exposure time: 1h30. Using light pollution filter (Bortle 7-8). #astrophotography

3rd year of sustainable chemical processes course. Today practicum results of excercise to calculate embedded emissions. in this case one year of diaper use @vubrussel.bsky.social

Presenting some work we did end 2024. A climate roadmap for the European mining industry. The report can be found here: euromines.org/wp-content/u...
An extremely interesting industry already seeing high levels of electrification.
