Andrew, I enjoyed your report and photos--thanks for sharing those. Whew! What an introduction to Messier Marathoning. As tough as it was, I really enjoyed the challenge, and managed to star hop and nail- bite my way to 100 objects. The report and photos are here: http://www.perezmedia.net/beltofvenus/archives/000548.html Thanks to all who organized and hosted the event! I'm looking forward to next year's event, and hopefully clearer skies.
