Galaxy hunting

I've been having some issues spotting galaxies.

With my current equipment, what should I expect to see when searching for a Mag 8.0 Galaxy?

In particular, I was looking for the Sombrero Galaxy the other evening and simply could not see it with my scope and what I thought was it was extremely faint and dim and not worth looking at.

I just want to manage my expectations with my current gear.

Thanks!
