Location: Plateau de Valensole, France

Session duration: 2 nights

Sky conditions: Excellent transparency after midnight

Instruments:

• 80mm refractor
• 7×50 binoculars
• 150mm Newtonian telescope

Targets:

• Mars
• M31 (Andromeda Galaxy)
• M57 (Ring Nebula)
• The Moon

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.
