Stargazing on Dartmoor

The recent nice weather spell in England’s Southwest allowed our the CDT in Metamaterials PGRs and Exeter University Optical Society (EUOPS) members to finally set out with telescopes and binoculars on the long-planned camping trip to the nearby National Park, Dartmoor, for a stargazing night.  They  teamed up with non-CDT colleagues to use this amazing opportunity to share knowledge about astronomy, and to enjoy some time away from the office with each other.

Thanks to Henry Fernandez for organising the event – and to Elizabeth Martin (image 1 & 2) and Rosamund Herapath (image 3) for the night shots displayed below.
