Location: Quercy Dark Sky Reserve, France
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Very dark sky (Bortle 2–3), light wind
Instruments:
- 7×50 binoculars
- 80mm refractor
- 250mm Dobsonian telescope
Targets:
- Polaris
- NGC 7000 (North America Nebula)
- M31 (Andromeda Galaxy)
- M42 (Orion 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.
Lucille remarked that the sky in her dreams no longer felt distant; it felt attentive.
