Well you can see the large and the small magelan clouds and even M31 with no aid at all... sometimes I can see galaxies thru the view finder of the 300d but I have a very very dark site.
The silver coin is visable and I can make out the smudge of the Wirlpool gallaxy in the North which was a surprise..
I think as you gain experience you can recognise very small changes in the brightness of the sky...
When I started I found it difficult to find them but pretty easy these days..er nights... so hang in there...
