Review
“For Les Soeurs Boulay ' La mort des étoiles' album launch event, I asked Trevor to show the guests the sky with his telescope. Trevor identified in advance which planets would be visible at launch: Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon, and told me what time of the evening they might be seen. Upon his arrival, he settled in the best place to see the three without having to move around too much and he showed the planets in turn to the guests. Thanks to an addition on the telescope, it can transmit what is seen in the telescope in a telephone and record it in video. This addition was greatly appreciated by the public, who were able to leave with a memory and a new vision, particularly of the moon, which is very impressive up close. The children were also amazed to be able to see the moon so close and see the rings around Saturn with their own eyes." (translated from original French)
