Update: Worth it, thanks for the tips everyone!
Took a drive out to a little town near Newmarket (Ousden) that seemed to be recommended as a stargazing spot. Top of a hill, hardly a cloud in the sky, sliver of a moon, and not even too cold. What a perfect night!
Even on an iPhone 13 mini without a tripod or any skill in photography we managed to get a couple of amazing snaps.
Finished up with some motorway services doughnuts on the way home in the wee hours.
Overall:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - would do it again.
The real question is how to make it profitable. Turn the captured carbon into building materials somehow?
As it stands, who pays for it? Can’t rely on government subsidies, and can’t rely on business doing it unless they’re compelled.
I wish it would work but I just don’t see how it fits in the current system at any meaningful scale.
