Splendid writeup and professionally produced. It is amazing what moving south and dark unveils.

Enjoyed the read.

Hi. Great write up. Very informative and a pleasure to read. Thanks for posting.

Great report! Panning through the skies with a pair of 15x70s in the dark skies of southern France is one of the most relaxing ways of spending a (warm) night under the stars.

What a great write up, excellent presentation and seems you had a good time.

Splendid stuff, great reading...

Thanks chaps...

We try to add little write-ups and guides to encourage members of our group to get outside and observe, sketch and try imaging no matter what level of experience or equipment they have!

Glad you enjoyed the read - I'm sure you worked out that the pictures used were just screen grabs from SkySafari...

Clear skies,

Very nicely done write-up, Damian - brings those dark southern Europe skies to life; thanks.

One point: you mention both 15x70 and 10x70 binoculars in the article: typo or two binos?

[TakMan]

Noo, aarrgghh - typo!

Will have to re-do the PDF now! Any others you noticed!?!?

Nope (but lots pass me by when reading (& proof-reading!) stuff on a computer screen).

I hate to break it to you, but there were dozens in the copy I read. It was in other respects a lovely and appreciated read, so I just kept my trap shut.
