This may be below the capabilities of this group, but I have been planning
for the Messier Marathon this weekend. I found an on-line planner that has
the observing order and RA/Dec for each object. The thing I like is the
specified times, so if you cannot find something, you know when to stop
looking and move on so you don't get off the time sequence. The planner I
intend to use is Larry McNish's (RASC-Calgary) Planner version 1.51 which
allows you to input your location and date, then print just the planner
page:

This planner is similar to the one that Rick Tejera put together that can be
downloaded from the SAC MM site or the SAC MM flyer, it just has some
additional details.
My crystal ball says Saturday night will be clear but windy, but not as cold
as last year. Keep your fingers crossed.
