M104 with 10x50 binoculars in a suburban backyard?

Has anyone managed to see the sombrero galaxy in 10x50 binos from a suburban backyard?

I tried last night, but could seem to see it. I detected a faint fuzz with averted vision. But it could have been nothing. I'm 30 kms west of melbourne. I can pick it in my 8inch dob easy. My hand holding of the bino is relatively steady. Perhaps I should try mounting it on my monopod?
