Hi Allan.
It required a limiting naked eye magnitude of about 6.5 and near perfect seeing. I have heard tell of someone viewing Hoag's object with a 10"!
As you say, the ring galaxies are fascinating but I think I'll need a bigger mirror to make life easier, perhaps glimpse some of the ring, not just the core. I'd love to hunt some down with a 32" glass!
I'm picking you could see many of the more favourably culminating ones listed in the faintfuzzies.com lists Allan.
Clear skies!
