Observation Session – 24 April 2010

Location: Parc naturel du Vercors, France

Session duration: 2 nights

Sky conditions: Moderate turbulence, seeing ~6/10

Instruments:

  • 300mm Dobsonian reflector
  • 250mm Dobsonian telescope
  • 200mm Newtonian reflector

Targets:

  • M33 (Triangulum Galaxy)
  • Jupiter
  • M13 (Hercules Cluster)
  • M31 (Andromeda Galaxy)

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 added that the dreams were becoming more precise, often repeating specific constellations and the same sensation of being observed.

Members present: Lucille Godefert, Ayoub Berrabeh, Adama Traoré, Maxime Dallois, Marc Lefèvre
