It's a fairly small and bright galaxy with well defined star patterns around it so I would say you did see it. , well done .
And yes a monopod will help immensely.

Have you tried 5128 , centaurus A yet. ? It's getting higher as the night progresses , should be quite easy .

Keep up the good work.

I'll give centaraus A a go. I love reclining on my anti gravity chair. I can always retract the monopod and still hold it while lying down. Should be some extra stability.
