NGC 247 is a galaxy that I've avoided in the past because it has reputation of being a difficult low surface brightness object and I thought it would not fare well in my light polluted skies. I've just recently changed back to my STXL 6303 so I picked NGC 247 as a test object. Sky conditions were generally pretty good but I had other unexplained problems that I fortunately managed to work around.
Cheers
