Location: Quercy Dark Sky Reserve, France
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Cold and stable atmosphere, seeing ~8/10
Instruments:
- 100mm apochromatic refractor
- 80mm refractor
- 250mm Dobsonian telescope
Targets:
- Saturn
- Polaris
- NGC 7000 (North America Nebula)

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.
