PAS Members, It was decided yesterday that Mar 21 will be the PAS Messier Marathon, for those wanting to be at Mike's house to do their Marathon. The other choice, and this is NOT a PAS event, but you are welcome to join SAC and EVAC at their location, and do your marathon there. Here's the details you need to know about that one. The AAMM (All Arizona Messier Marathon) is coming up soon. The actual “event” is on *Saturday** evening* (and Sunday EARLY AM), *March 21st.* That is a “short” 3 weeks from now….. Make sure your calendars are marked !!! Some people go out to the site a few days early, and some stay a few days after. It is a good place to “camp out”… and the skies are REALLY dark. AND…. It’s a GREAT place for fellowship with fellow (amateur) astronomers during the day !! Now….. we are not quite in the “10 day weather forecast window”….. but keeping our fingers crossed… Link to the SAC (Sponsor) information page: http://www.saguaroastro.org/content/messier2015.htm Since several members have messaged me with their choice of where they are doing their Marathon, and it seems to be about equal between Mike's location and SAC's location... I'd like it if anyone surfing the net, would provide more details about the SAC event to the list serv, just so everyone knows what they need to know to do and enjoy their Marathon.

And have a spectacular weekend! -- Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you always know they are there.
