Steve Remick and I are heading to the Flatin Farm hayfield between 7:00 – 7:30. We should get in a couple of hours anyway. It doesn't look like we'll see the Mercury/Mars conjunction. There are thick low clouds to the west here in SG. I hope someone gets a peek. Maybe APOD will have an image.
I think our first chance at a Messier Marathon will be March 9th. There will be another opportunity at the end of the month. We've got to beat 82 before the Energizer Bunny (Ellenvega) will be satisfied.
I WILL have a cord operated hair dryer for the event. I am sick and tired of having Misty Cloud chase us out of Eagle Bluff. I like her sister Many Stars far better.
