For all club members interested in participating in a Messier Marathon, CAS has made arrangements to conduct a Messier Marathon at the University of Virginia’s Fan Mountain Observatory on the night of Saturday, March 14 (6:00 PM) on into the morning of March 15, 2015 with March 21, 2015 as a backup date. The New Moon will be on March 20 so the 14th is not the best night of 2015 to hunt down all 110 Messier Objects; but we need to hedge our bets with the weather. March 21st will be our backup date if the 14th is canceled.
