Messier Marathon

In the late 1700s, French astronomer Charles Messier published a catalog of 110 nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters.  Once a year in the Northern Hemisphere, all of the objects are visible in a single night.  Join us as we combine historic and modern telescopes to complete the Messier Marathon and race to see the entire catalog in one night.
