DSOs visible with my Bushnell 10x50

[Buckethead 2.0]

So far, I have seen M45, M31, and M33 with these binos.

My plan is to try M3 next.

These seem doable too under a dark sky:

M63, M94, M51 (possibly).

Any of these doable under Orange Bortle skies and a thin crescent Moon? Any additional/alternative ideas?

My coordinates are approximately 44°N, 70°W, in Maine, USA.

If I recall I have seen M3 in my yellow zone here.

Are not binoculars FUN!
Especially in the summer

Absolutely, yes they are! The part I am not used to, is the different FOV compared to telescopes I used before. Wider FOV, so what happens, is I accidentally race right by stars that I am trying to star hop with. With a scope, a slight movement of the OTA won't send you halfway across the sky.

Most of the brighter globulars are visible in 10x50's. M51 would be a stretch unless you are under dark skies.

Yeah, I had my doubts about the Whirlpool. So M3 and M13 are candidates?

Yep.

Thanks Michael.

M22 should be possible too.

M22 should be possible too.

Thank you, ARock. It's going on my list.

I would not be surprised if you could manage M94 too.
If it were a star it would be of magnitude 7.88, well within the reach of 10X50. It is more difficult for it has a certain surface. But.....it is rather dense!
Good luck and let us know!

Your best bet would be global and open clusters on Messier list. As I recall I managed most of them with 10x50 from my orange zone patio.

Messier galaxies and nebulae will be hit and miss depending on how orange your zone is, sky conditions etc. I would still encourage to give each a shot, you will be surprised how many you can detect with 10x50.

That was already on my list, but I will definitely shoot for it now. Well, when it is clear again, and before the first quarter of the Moon hopefully.

Nice pointers, Bigzmey. Thank you!

I can recommend the Binocular Sky website and newsletter, particularly the free monthly newsletter.

Yes, indeed; the words 'website' and 'newsletter' are links, but they don't show up well in all board styles.
Thanks for helping to clarify though.

Gfamily, a double thanks for directing me to Binocularsky site. I often use Gary Seronik's book Binocular Highlights as inspiration for viewing both with binos and my small scopes. Quickly scanning the newsletter was a delight. A wealth of information.

M35 was visible in my 10x50s this morning.
M36, 37, 38 in Auriga are easy under dark skies, but I've only been able to catch M36 at home with 10x50s..

[helicon]

I like the Auriga clusters in the 15x70's and 25x100's. Though I can make them out as fuzzy patches in the 10x50's. M35 as well. There are more OC's in winter than you can shake a stick at.

That is one part of winter that I look forward to.
