On one windy night at the Nebraska Star Party, we were passing around various binoculars to do comparisons. I did manage to see Barnard's Galaxy in a really good 10x50 pair, although it is somewhat easier in my 10x60's. Still, it has a rather low surface brightness and can be hard to notice initially. I can see some vague brightening in one end in my NexStar 9.25 inch SCT at around 78x, but for the most part, it appears as only a bar-shaped very diffuse glow rather than something well-defined. Clear skies to you.
