Erick,
Once set up go to mode catalog. Messier objects and start at M1 then go to M2, M3 etc etc. Some will not be in the sky at the time but just move onto the next one. Record what you have observed then go back to ones you have missed if they have come up above the horizon.

Gary will answer this one as I'm not sure but you maybe able to go to tour mode and them select Messier objects??

Be something you can do at Snake valley camp this March.
