Observation notes:
The observation session felt unusually focused, with repeated returns to the same fields and repeated instrument checks despite stable conditions.
Several members remarked that familiar regions of the sky appeared difficult to describe in ordinary observational terms.
Ayoub Berrabeh noted that the silence of the site felt disproportionate to the open terrain, as if sound were being absorbed above the group.
