Episode 105 - Seuls Ensemble (Alone, Together)

Saison 1 · Épisode 105

jeudi 17 septembre 2026 • Durée 03:47:08

JOIN THE FAMILY: The Astrocast | Weekly Astronomy/Astrophotography Podcast | Patreon

WELCOME BAAAACK to The EUROCAST! In this weeks episode, guest host Mark Lindley takes The Astrocast to Europe for a trip through Switzerland, the French Alps, and the Vosges Mountains, where online friendships finally become face-to-face conversations.

Between missed train stops, passport trouble, cloudy skies, and a shared meal, Mark catches up with Dr. Klaus Schweitzer and Tim from Belgium. There’s plenty of astrophotography talk along the way: traveling with camera lenses, remote observatories, processing software, simple star trackers, and knowing when to upgrade your gear.

But the moment that makes the trip comes under the stars, when Tim sees the Milky Way for the first time. Mark closes his journey with a personal reflection on loneliness, friendship, and finding your people, followed by his original poem, “Alone Together.”

Come for the stars. Stay for the company.

Featured guests: Mark Lindley, Dr. Klaus Schweitzer, Tim, and Roo.

Field-recording note: Parts of the car conversation have rough audio. To skip ahead to the cottage conversation, jump from 36:05 to 1:16:40.

**YOUTUBE VERSION HERE!!!*** - you'll wanna see this!

How big does another galaxy look with the naked eye? In Chile’s Atacama Desert, Nico Carver saw the Large Magellanic Cloud hanging in the sky—so large that members of his group initially thought it was an ordinary cloud!

Welcome BACK to The Astrocast! Roo sits down with Nico Carver of Nebula Photos to discuss his Atacama astrophotography workshop, the Southern Milky Way, 3D-printed astro gear, AI, smart scopes, remote observatories, mono versus one-shot color and much more. We also explore Nico’s incredible images of Gamma Velorum, the Vela Supernova Remnant, the LMC, Corona Australis and the Southern Cross-to-Carina region.

Thank you to Nico for being such a wonderful friend of the show!
