[AZ-Observing] Re: Messier Marathon - draft list

Keith, first congrats to you and Larry Brown on bagging 108 objects.  
Also thanks for the kind words, it is rewarding to know folks enjoy the 
marathon so much.

Glad Don Machholz reminded everyone about the 9 planets, unfortunately 
there were no notes on checklists indicating so.  I suspect this is 
because the clouds were such a pain.

Clear skies,
aj
