Location: Pyrenees – Gavarnie valley, France
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Very dark sky (Bortle 2–3), light wind
Instruments:
- 100mm apochromatic refractor
- 150mm Newtonian telescope
- 80mm refractor
Targets:
- Mars
- M33 (Triangulum Galaxy)
- Perseus star field
- Polaris
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.
