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."

Jeff writes: "Koichi Itagaki found a supernova in NGC 2403 in Camelopardalis on July 31. It is about magnitude 11.5, one of the brightest in years. NGC 2403 is circumpolar from here, so I got up at 3:30 Monday morning when it is higher in the northeast."
"At 120x in the 10-inch the supernova is an obvious star at the east edge of the galaxy's bright central region. No mistaking it once you have looked at a picture of the galaxy beforehand."
