The Messier Marathon was a great success. 109 out of 110 objects! Sure we cheated and used the Herrett telescope with its accurate go-to on most objects. It still takes a bit of luck and quite a bit of preparation to hit all of these objects in one night.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and to Jim Woods for the pizza!
