March Madness, eh?? The March madness around here is that it's 100F (38C) in Phoenix today - we got a lousy 2 weeks of Winter and now my new car's AC decides to misbehave. We prepped all of our cold viewing outfits and sleeping bags for tomorrow night's Messier Marathon in the desert south of Phoenix. It usually pops down into the 40's this time of year for the viewing party, but not THIS year!. Looks like picnic umbrellas, larger coolers, and LOTS of H2O are more the need. Ah well, 109 of 110 objects visible this year (M39 is keeping its head below the horizon this year). Last year I hit 105, I'll be shooting for at least that many again star hopping with a manual 6" f6 Dob, 15x80 Binoculars, and a Celestron 9 1/4 with GPS and GOTO to verify my manual findings. Any other astro-heads going out for viewing this year?
