Please include my 2026 Messier Marathon result on SEDS website.

This year I observed from Llyn Brenig reservoir in North Wales U.K. on the 
19/20th March 2026.

99 objects observed but unable to confirm M77 due to murk/haze. Mostly clear 
all night with a light breeze for a change.  M2 seen this time and M6 should 
have been three degrees above the horizon but suspect the dawn twilight and 
extinction made it look like a group of background stars rather than a messier 
cluster so unable to confirm M6.

10" Dobs used along with 7x50 and mounted 20x80 binoculars. 

Many thanks.
