Myself and my mate Dennis shooting the milky way at lake Ellesmere after a workshop

Usually I'm beat after spending several hours teaching, not normally a people person but I love doing this stuff.. Still kills me..

But couldnt resist shooting this and getting Dennis in the frame on the right

Is there an instance for #astrophotography on #Mastodon ?

I'm literally asking for a friend #space #photography

Time for another #introduction for the newcomers 😀 I'm an astronomer and science communicator at the European Southern Observatory.

In my previous life I used to study how galaxies form and evolve. I also helped my peers get their data as a support astronomer at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. I now work full time as Media Officer at ESO's HQ in Germany.

I'm also an avid astrophotographer! Below is a pic of my previous "office" in Chile. 🤩
