- 250mm Dobsonian telescope
- 100mm apochromatic refractor
Targets:
- 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.
