As well as using averted vision, you must be in a dark place. You don't say where you are, but if you are in the suburbs with light pollution around you wont have a hope of finding it. However, if you can get to a suitable dark place, even your scope should pick it up. After all, I've seen it in just binoculars, and I've known others who have seen it naked eye, but we were all in dark places miles away from light pollution! The waxing moon wont help you either, for the next week or so.
No, it wont pop out. If its your very first galaxy you may miss it several times before you see it. It will be subtle, a faint smear of light, and much smaller than you expect.
