Default Messier Marathon: Any Perfect Scores So Far?

I am delighted to report a 110% success from the Canary Islands (28N) on the
night of 19/20th March. I observed with my home-built 10" truss-tube
dobsonian from above 2000m on the slopes of Mt Tiede, Tenerife. Conditions
were almost perfect apart from an occasional strong breeze.

I have now returned to a cold cloudy and rainy UK!


Congrats, Paul! Yours is the first "110%" success report I've seen, this year.
How difficult was M30 from 28º North?
