- 300mm Dobsonian reflector
- 200mm Newtonian reflector
Targets:
- 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.
