On Friday, April 10th, 2026 at 6:00pm, we’ll open our VBAS observing field all night to observers searching for Messier objects. Bring your scope to set up in our observing field! We have plenty of power outlets to plug your scope into.
Each Spring it’s possible to view all 110 Messier deep sky objects in a single night. A Messier Marathon is an event for amateur astronomers to attempt to observe as many of these objects as possible. It’s not a race or a contest, but more of an opportunity to get out and do what we love doing most in the company of other like-minded observers.
See you Friday night!
