The March issue of Astronomy has a very nice illustrated pullout of the
Messier catalog. It has photo's of all the objects plus charts, positions
and "fun facts" throughout. It also of interest to see that individuals of
the Arizona amateur and professional astronomy community appear to be
dominant Messier experts as there it a fair amount of text quoting Tom
Polakis and Brian Skiff. It's interesting to note in the article that Tom
now appears to live in Arizona city (Great, we can now stay at his house
during the marathon) and Brian has a very nice margin piece on the naked eye
object list he keeps (I'll have the try that one).
There are a large amount of photo credits along the bottom of pages 6 and 7
of the pullout so I wouldn't be surprised to see some other Arizona
Astronomy notables. All in all a great little "keeper" just in time for AJ's
messier marathon

Congratulations Brian,
You should tell how you found the comet at a SAC meeting some time (hint,
hint).
