Colophon

Zara Hartwell is an amateur astronomer working from Marseille. Between aligning a mount and waiting for clear skies, the second one taught me more. In September the light changes, and so does the work. There is no single right way to approach observing, but some ways are kinder than others.

This site started in 2026. Patience matters more than aperture on most nights. The best nights are the unplanned ones.
