Sky Events: Messier Marathon: March 11 at Rice Lake Road

Mark writes: "New Moon is March 10, so the Messier Marathon is Friday March 11 at the Rice Lake Road field, with Saturday March 12 as the rain date. From our latitude you cannot get all 110. The low objects in Sagittarius come up too close to dawn. A hundred is a very good night."

"Start at sunset with M77 and M74 low in the west and finish around 5:30 AM. Dress for 10 below. The checklist in marathon order is in Downloads."
