[sac-forum] 2008 All Arizona Messier Marathon - results

Here is the final results of the Messier Marathon.  There have been changes to 
the original posting so use this lists for publication purposes.  There have 
been a number of changes to the draft so, again, use this for publication and 
reference.

I believe enough folks will get this update for publication and distribution, 
but if someone has been missed please don't hesitate to do the forward.

It turns out 109 objects landed first place; 108 good for second place and 107 
got third place.

The telescope plates were order this morning and I hope to pick them up next 
week in time for the EVAC meeting.  Sorry I wasn't able to get them together 
for the SAC meeting tomorrow.  I'll mail out all the other awards.
