SUMMARY:LLCC-MAS Observing Weekend
DESCRIPTION:MAS Star Party Member Weekend\nUnlike other MAS star party sites\, the nature of the relationship between the MAS and the LLCC requirements affects access by both members and the general public. Specifically: \n\nOther than the Northern Nights Star Fest\, Events held at LLCC are not open to the public. Only MAS members and their immediate family members are authorized to attend scheduled events.\nThe MAS does not call a star party “on” or “off” for any particular evening or weekend – it is up to the individual members to use the weather resources available and decide if it is worth making the trip.  Check the MAS Forum to see if others are going or not going\nThe site is not available for mid-week observing by members.\n\nCheck the MAS forum – ‘Long Lake Conservation Discussions’ topic and state that you intend to go to LLCC for the designated weekend.  The LLCC committee will notify LLCC management of member intentions and designate bunk rooms available for use (typically in the Marcum House). \nLLCC star parties may be available for Friday and Saturday evenings\, weather permitting. \nAdditional information on using the Long Lake Conservation Center\, including map and directions\, can be found on the LLCC page.

SUMMARY:Mini Messier Marathon 2024
DESCRIPTION:MESSIER MARATHON\nA Messier Marathon is an attempt to find as many Messier objects as possible during one night. The Messier catalogue was compiled by French astronomer Charles Messier during the late 18th century and consists of 110 relatively bright deep sky objects (galaxies\, nebulae\, and star clusters). \nThe first MAS Messier Marathon was held on March 13\, 1999 (Apr Gemini\, pg 4)\, and has been held annually at the Cherry Grove Observatory. The marathon is scheduled for the new moon weekend nearest the spring equinox with Saturday being the primary night\, and Friday being the backup night. \nAs with all Cherry Grove events\, the marathon is held only if the skies are clear and will be CANCELLED IF CLOUDY. See the MAS home page or Forum for the latest information regarding the star party status.
