Location: Namib Desert, Namibia
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Excellent transparency after midnight
Instruments:
- 300mm Dobsonian reflector
- 200mm Newtonian reflector
- 150mm Newtonian telescope
Targets:
- Double Cluster (NGC 869/884)
- Rigel
- NGC 7000 (North America Nebula)
- Perseus star field
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.
