If you are in the Louisville-Longmont-Boulder area join us sometime at a star party... see www.longmontastro.org for schedule. From a dark site a number of deep sky objects are visible to the naked eye. M31 for sure, M33, M13, quite a few open clusters --- Pleades M45 of course, Praespe. Just off the top of my head, probably quite a few more... With just 10x50 binnoculars you can see more than 80 of the Messier objects. I just haul my scope out to the backyard.
