I have found the elongated smudge with my 20x 80 binoculars in betweenish  a 7th and 8th magnitude stars. From my moderately LP skies ont the south coast

There was a thread a while back about observing M1 and this is a sketch made with 15x70s which gives a good impression of the view - a finger nail smudge !
