Kim, are you going to SPOC or a more remote site? I use the S&T Messier card, will have it at SPOC Friday. Although I have to work Saturday morning and can't stay all-night, I will have the Orion ED 80mm on the Weightless Mount as well as a couple of pairs of large binos. Someone on the list had wanted to examine and test-drive the Orion scope, this is your chance. Sorry I forgot who it was at this point. C. --- Kim Hyatt <khyatt@smithlayton.com> wrote:

You can find several variations of the list at www.seds.org. I have this link to a text version.

http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/marathon/marath1.html.

Brent Watson's books also have the order listed. Most of the lists have NGC 5866 as an alternate for 102 so that you can try for 110 instead of 109.

Does anyone have a list of Messier objects in the order they should be found for a successful marathon?
