Two Messier Marathons 2006

Messier Marathons always involve a lot of near-horizon observing. Here's Jane with her 12.5-inch Litebox, "painted" with a red flashlight as she tries for one of the soon-to-set Messier objects. Final tally: 109 out of 110 possible Messier objects observed.

Mojo's 14.5-inch Litebox newtonian salutes our ocotillo host.	A very different sunset this weekend from last.
