Anyone fancy a marathon?

Out of sheer clouded-out frustration I've amused myself by creating an Aussie Marathon of 109 well placed Messier/Caldwell/(and an NGC fave) objects which should be readily visible between 8pm and 3am

The list is ordered in a rough viewing order (only the first few are critical as they will be setting fast).

There are 2 files: IISAC Matathon.txt which can be loaded into Argonavis, and IISAC Marathon Autostar.txt that can be, you guessed it, loaded into Autostar (but don't forget to rename the extension to .mtf)

Either file can be read in notepad or whatever to see the full list in all its glory. If anyone is interested I'll post up the Astroplanner file.

I can't get down to IISAC this year, but if anyone is up to the challenge...
