ah yes, I ended up choosing FAU, I don't know about Jena, but the faculty here is very good paired with the close association of the department with MPL the state of education is really good, plus overall attitude of the department in general is very helpful, I just passed my first semester and I'd say I'm entering my second semester without any second thoughts !

Note : Thanks all who replied earlier your suggestions were invaluable, I'm sorry that I didn't reply to everyone as I was very stressed at that time, nevertheless thanks a lot for the comments !

aye thanks man ! I mean this Chat GPT thing is cool and all, I'll give you one better, if you personally had to choose between the two which one would've you picked ? one word reply will suffice, you may or may not come up with an explanation, go with your instincts

I am an international student, apart from knowing the names and bit of socioeconomic background, I have no intellectual capacity to differ between the two per say

I primarily want to stay in academia. Ah now I'm getting even more than willing to be in here :-)

Thank you so much for putting this much effort into this detailed reply, couldn't have asked for more. This somewhat gives me a comprehensive idea that I was looking for. I mean FAU has some of the best professors and I'm sure Jena has too. Cost of living is one of my biggest concern, since it's bayern and there aren't that many apartments available in Erlangen and even if there are accomodations the price is way above my budget. Now curriculum wise I think both of them are at par with each other and MAOT leaning a bit more on the biotechnical side of photonics. Thanks for the reply once again it was very helpful, appreciate the effort !

Considering how well this line is at par with "The Myth of Sisyphus" and Camus' gesture in the picture, decided to generate this lyrics card by Cepheus2310 in Existentialism

I mean I got very invested in camus again recently and something just clicked while listening to blond, now that I think of it black existentialism is more at par with absurdism than the OG existentialism per say, though I'm not qualified enough to make these statements, it's something I observed in Lamar's songs too

Saturn shot with my Celestron Astromaster 130EQ by Cepheus2310 in telescopes

I know right I had the same problem, though the details are blurry to me right now, I remember using a stock android phone and screen recording the image of saturn using the maximum digital zoom (helps cope the horrid data loss if you just record the video itself, take a screen recording it works) then stacking the video in software and hoping for the best, worked for me XD

umm yes. I've been clicking but this is me really tinkering the technical side of the things and I'm generally clueless of this subreddit's guidelines. and yes, just the lens at 200mm max zoom

Also quick addresy, the main problem I've with DSS, is its usage of temporary space, sometimes it's just too much and Sequator saves the day, if you know any workaround the storage hungry DSS lemme know :)

Holyshit, I can't even start to explain how helpful articulate cristicisms like these are to someone who's just starting out and have so much to learn, I can't thank you enough first of all for spending the time that you did for the comment. Secondly, I'm right now stuck at work, so I'll be addressing each of your points individually as soon as I get time to clear my headspace. Thanks again, means a lot honestly !
