two Saturdays ago I observed at least 4 galaxies with my 20 x 80 binos-but from a dark site

the Magellanic Clouds are the best galaxies to observe anyway;the others were M31 and M33

I have observed M83, Centaurus A, M104, NGC 253 with my 20 x80s. (I have observed M104 and Centaurus A from my backyard in light polluted Sydney )

skilled binocular observers have reported very many galaxies are observable with binos.

anything I can do with my hand held binos you can do heaps better with your telescope..but its always easier to find stuff from a dark site and also the viewing is far more satisfying
