Location: Pyrenees – Gavarnie valley, France
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Excellent transparency after midnight
Instruments:
- 300mm Dobsonian reflector
- 7×50 binoculars
- 100mm apochromatic refractor
Targets:
- Mars
- Perseus star field
- NGC 7000 (North America Nebula)

Observation notes:
Transparency improved after midnight and allowed longer visual work on faint deep-sky targets.
The larger telescope resolved dense clusters cleanly, while the refractor was used for wider fields and comparison views.
