Maurice and Yoann Audejean, a father-and-son duo, share a deep passion for astronomy in Chinon. They proudly own a Newtonian telescope with a diameter of 400 mm and a focal length of 1800 mm.
Maurice has been practicing astronomy since the 1960s, building a wealth of experience that he passed on to Yoann in the 1990s. Together, they have been pursuing their shared passion since 2024. In addition, they actively participate in solar observations using CLIMSO coronagraphs at the Pic du Midi de Bigorre Observatory.
