March is almost here! The month of March is 'Messier Marathon Month'
for those residing in the mid-northern hemisphere of Earth -- weather
permitting.

Who plans on bagging as many Messier objects as they can this month?
What instrument(s) do you plan on using?
At what magnification(s)?
>From what location (sky darkness, elevation, latitude)?
On what date(s)?
Alone or with others?
Have you attempted a Messier Marathon before? Outcome?

To sketch is to see.
