From: Todd K. Tuttle Date: Mon, Mar 20, 2023 at 5:52 PM Subject: North Central Kansas Astronomical Society (NCKAS) 2023 Messier Marathon Results We had a fantastic, but bitterly cold night at our viewing site in North Central Kansas. The temperature dropped to 2° Fahrenheit (-16.7° C). Viewing, however, was exceptional and transparent all night long. Our participants were able to view 103 Messier Objects, which was a new record for them. The bitter cold night, and clouds in the other locations, limited the participants to only two brave souls. All results are posted to our Messier site at http://messier.nckas.org/messier-2023/messier-2023-event-page/ Thank You, Todd K. Tuttle NCKAS
