Looking over this page
http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/marathon/hall.html it looks like the
most northern latitude was Virgina. Anyone complete it at 41 degrees?


Many people have done the entire Messier list in Washington State.

Is the marathon especially difficult for northerners because of the
position of some of the southerly Messiers in March?
