Wow, that's an excellent bino sketch. I've just sketched this two some days ago too (not in a binocular tho, but with nearly 1° fov):



I wonder if there's such a large aperture binocular available that would show their third companion, the NGC 3077. It's in the opposite side of M81, in nearly the same distance like M82. A relatively faint GX.

Don't take my words too seriously, I might be wrong. And sorry for my English.
