I can spot M4....only few bright stars on my 10"! M13 is much better! M22 still not great but better than M4! M4 is easy to find on 10 X 50 binocular in pretty dark sky as fuzzy star! When you are in dark sky and you will find M4 then marked on your paper to know the excatly location and you able to find it in light pollution when the night is right.....clear and no moon! -------------------- Astronomer since 1975!
