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)

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.
