I want to comment how was my Messier Marathon.
This year, as I have my new 203mm or 8 inch telescope, I decided to participate, since few years back I try with my telescope 114mm or 4 inches and went really wrong.
This year I have been able to see or distinguish 46 of the 110.
It took me all Friday night and Saturday was almost impossible because wind and clouds were against me.
I leave the list of what I could see, I hope to hear your opinions and suggestions, the list is organized by observation.
