Just had a session with the 10x50s which started off with m81/82 very faint but always nice to see - and low enough to view comfortably.  

After cruising here and there picking out some little clusters I went to Auriga. I always start off with that little string of stars to the right of m36 and m38.  I nudged them over to the right of the FOV and was able to squeeze the two messier's in and in-between them sit two stars. Just before I moved away I noticed a tiny faint fuzz, so tiny I thought it was my imagination ... Came in, checked my star atlas and found it to be a diffuse nebula NGC 1931... (Mag 10.1?) NICE!

You just never know what your going to find when cruising round with a pair of bins....
