Location: Sahara Desert, Morocco
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Excellent transparency after midnight
Instruments:
- 7×50 binoculars

Targets:
- M33 (Triangulum Galaxy)
- Double Cluster (NGC 869/884)

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.
