Messier marathon sequence

If you are participating in a Messier Marathon for your astronomy club or class, the following list shows the recommended sequence for viewing the Messier objects. The goal is to locate all 110 objects in a single night. This sequence is accurate for mid-Northern latitudes in the U.S. All that is needed is a good set of binoculars or a modest telescope, a keen eye, patience, and lots of stamina.
