Discovering astronomy by day and night with Philippe...
Philippe, who has been passionate about astronomy since the age of 10, has been working as a scientific animator in a planetarium for over 22 years. He is regularly published in specialized magazines, and the sky holds no secrets for him! Take advantage of his telescopes to discover planets, nebulae and galaxies, and leave with incredible images of the sky. He offers a wide range of services in the valley:
- Night Astronomy sessions: (limited to 20 pers max): at Vicdessos, above Goulier village or at Port de Lers, come and take advantage of a particularly bright 360mm diameter telescope open at F/4 to discover nebulae, galaxies and also the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The session allows you to take images using a digital camera specialized in astronomical imagery, with special filters for nebulae!
- Daytime Astronomy sessions: (limited to 20 people max.): at Vicdessos or at the port of Lers, come and observe the sun and its flames through a special 204mm-diameter telescope: visual observation of sunspot groups and solar flares, with images taken using an adapted camera!

These day/night observations are not suitable for children under 8.

- Astro lectures: (unlimited number of people) lasting approximately 90 minutes:
- Journey through the solar system
- The life and death of stars
- From the Earth to the Big Bang
- Can the sky fall?
- The mysteries of Mars

As an astrophotographer, he uses his images to create articles and photo albums.
You can access the images obtained during these observations on the photoastro.com website, under the heading Journées / Soirées ASTRO.
