Useful resources for a Messier Marathon

[Cjg]

In preparation for another attempt at a Messier Marathon, I've come across these two guides from Rob Hawley.

There is a "Charts" and "text" version, both in pdf, the charts is a weighty file and can be found here http://www.robhawley.net/mm/SHG-MM-charts-v6.pdf

The text is a smaller version and is at http://www.robhawley.net/mm/SHG-MM-text-v6.pdf

I've tried to leave positive feedback for Rob and to say thanks, but his feedback page 404's.
