I've spotted it with my 8 SE when in Bortle 1 skies and using my Ethos 10mm, based on matching starfields from Sky Safari. But it's tough and it really helps to have a well-calibrated GOTO.
If you want to try for another 'little guy' that is fun from a quirky perspective, try Proxima Centauri, mag 11 (red dwarf - closest star to Sol).
