Miracles do Happen

[DeepSkyMan]

Well, miracles do happen, just spent an evening with the bins under my first half decent local clear skies of 2017.  Bagged the following objects in two stints M81, M82, M92, M13, M3, M42, M45, M31, then later on between 23:00 and 00:30, Jupiter, M44, M51, Leo triplet (very faint with averted vision), M53, NGC5053 and a whole host of very faint unidentifiable smudges in the coma and Virgo regions.  Most pleased about M51 and the Leo triplet, first time I've managed to see these with the 15x85 binoculars?
