Leo I is touted to be a very low-surface-brightness galaxy and the like, so I was pleasantly surprised to be able to see it without knowing the position a-priori from what I would rate as Bortle 4+ (probably closer to 5) skies in Adarsha Joisa's 16" without light shielding/shrouding. Adarsha was able to reproduce the observation exactly without knowing where to look either. We later confirmed this against images.
