Galaxies are the hardest targets of all under light polluted skies.
One of the brightest ones ngc253 is barely detectable from my home due to it being a large one, meaning the light is spread out and masked by the bright sky background.
Smaller tighter ones are easier to see such as M104 and the spindle galaxy.
Use the 25mm to starhop, then increase the mag to view.
I have an observing technique that helps. Wearing a top I pull it up over my head and around the eyepiece to shield all extraneous external light. Hardly elegant but it sure helps!
