Reply With QuoteAny of the Messier objects are achievable in that beast.
Some really good ones that I recommend are:
M31 (one of my personal favorites)
M27
M13
M108
And there are many targets in Sagittarius that are great too. There are wonderful nebulae and open clusters in there.

You should get them all easily in a 10". My favorite and it is just starting to show before dawn is M42 the Orion Nebula.

Re: Best M-Objects in Z-10 or other 10" scope
I'm not sure if Coma Berenices is still up high enough (it's been a long time since I've observed) but M64 (The Black Eye galaxy) is a great galaxy to observe for the same reason I mentioned M108. They both have some nice subtle details that can be drawn out. They are pretty sweet.
Oh, and M104 (The Sombrero galaxy) is also pretty amazing.
You'll want some dark skies for these objects.-Nick

M-64 sounds great. M-108 should be easy to locate, I think. Thanks to everyone
