Rick, et al; A big "congratulations" to all those who got a bunch of Charles Messier's finest. I am very happy to see some participation from younger observers as well as lots of newbies getting them all. My record has been broken!! For some time I had the smallest aperture to get a certificate. I saw 80 objects with my 8X42 binoculars. I saw that Tom Polakis beat that with 30mm binoculars. Records are made to be broken.
