Messier Marathon 25th March 2022

19:23 – 05:43

A lovely evening to do a Messier Marathon with friends. Gingergeek came round tonight to setup his Tak 85 on the observing patio whilst I attempted to use the Skywatcher 120 Esprit to do the Marathon.

Once setup I started using the order from Don Macholtz. Note that whilst doing this it became apparent very quickly that the list is not entirely suitable for us here at 51 deg North. I will produce a new list shortly which is more amiable. So this is how I did.

M33 – Galaxy – Not seen. Tried 4 times but still too light.
