Re: Never seen M51 (Whirlpool Galaxy) in binocular

After years of observing M51 with a scope, the other night I gave it a shot with 10x70s and, knowing its location, it was nice to see the elongated shape of its companion, though small and fairly faint. I too was under the impression that this object was not a likely candidate for binos but was wrong all these years. Now I'm on a quest to observe other previous "scope only" objects. Mr Q
