March 28th was the night of the annual Messier Marathon where astronomers try to
view all 110 Messier Objects in one night. My previous record was 108 objects, but
this year I got all 110. In addition, a BIG feat was accomplished
by one of our local club members. Rich Richins actually imaged all
110 objects that night and he has created an awesome montage of his shots.
Great job Rich!
