Subject: Messier Marathon participation

Hello Astronomers Hartmut & Christine,
 
I am very much into stargazing since the past 6-7 years and this will be 
the first time, that I will be participating in the Messier Marathon.
 
We have a group of interested friends who will be joining me and my 
friend Dr. Ashish Nanabhai under the stars with our telescopes.
 
Our groups name: "Wanderlust" & "Nayka Nature Lovers Club"
 
My instrument is: SkyWatcher 6-inch Dobsonian & Nikon (60mmx20) Spotting 
scope & binoculars.
Dr. Ashish Nanabhai's instrument: 80mm reflector.
 
We will be stargazing from a dark patch of Matheran (hill station) on 
17th March 2012, Saturday night.
 
Thank you,
Dr. Ajay Pradhan from Mumbai (India).
