How about M1 in a few months time? Actually pretty easy once you locate it.
Hi Eric - Bacchus Marsh huh.... my inlaws are in Darley just on the outskirts. Must drag the scope up there one night.

M33 - wasn't expecting to see it after reading how difficult it can be. Easy as easy with binos and dark skies.

M1 - it wasn't quite up. The Hyades were over the horizon, but not the rest of Taurus. But yes, that would have been a nice test with binos and the half moon.
