The brief
What Gers Astronomie needed
Richard runs genuine observing and imaging nights from his own observatory in the Gers, and also builds astronomy and satellite software. The old site mixed the two and left visitors to work out how to book. Guests needed to see what an evening involves, what it costs and when the sky is worth booking, in English or French.
How we approached it
Let the sky do the selling.
A tonight panel calculates astronomical dusk and moon phase for La Romieu and shows an Open-Meteo cloud forecast. A sky calendar highlights upcoming meteor showers and links each one to a prefilled booking request.
Keep it simple to run.
The site is a static Astro build on Cloudflare Pages, with a full French version and a booking form that sends requests to Richard by email. Existing app support, privacy and download pages are kept at their original addresses. We used AI tools to design and build it, and listed every new line of copy for Richard to confirm.
