A combination of a holiday and doing astrophotography is appealing. I was two times in Grand Champ (Provence), one time in Grand Pré (northern France) and once in Hungary. And all four times we had good weather. Herewith are some picture of Grand Champ 19-27 August 2006. There i brought my Hutech Rebel XT (350D) Canon camera. Exposures rated between 20 and 80 sec with 18 mm lens and 6" Schmidt-Newton (Meade). It will be obvious which optics is which.
