Observation Session – 13 March 2010

Location: Mont Ventoux area, France

Session duration: 2 nights

Sky conditions: Moderate turbulence, seeing ~6/10

Instruments:

  • 7×50 binoculars
  • 250mm Dobsonian telescope
  • 100mm apochromatic refractor

Targets:

  • Jupiter
  • Perseus star field
  • M33 (Triangulum Galaxy)
  • Mars

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.
