Look, everyone, from my point of view only, unless you're a rank amateur, MMs are an excuse to get out of the house with the telescope. They are a social event, and this area concentrates mostly on the social aspects of amateur astronomy anyway. They are easy, my first one was over 33 years ago (when the Messier objects were closer, due to cosmic expansion ;), I am familiar with all the caveats. I just threw it into the mix for March observing considerations, didn't mean to hold the activity up for dissection by itself, didn't mean to arouse any name calling. No big deal, mon!
