Location: Plateau de Valensole, France
Session duration: 2 nights
Sky conditions: Excellent transparency after midnight
Instruments:
- 300mm Dobsonian reflector
- 150mm Newtonian telescope
- 100mm apochromatic refractor
Targets:
- Mars
- Jupiter
- M33 (Triangulum Galaxy)
- M57 (Ring 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.
