Notes 
No one did the marathon on Friday evening, March 28th .
As far as I know, this year saw the first time a digital camera scope was used 
in the Messier Marathon. I suspect these may become more common in the future. 
Julie Brozo performed a visual MM and bagged two objects: M45 and M42. 
All participants will receive a certificate of completion with the top three 
also receiving a plaque for their telescope.
