Hi Jen,
Even my "little brother" of your 6 inch scope could see M104 from Linden (dark sky site) quite clearly and fairly big at about 80x Mag, so your Skywatcher should have no problems. Once you get the hang of where it is, you will find it in no time and will ALWAYS look for it around this time for a cool view of another galaxy. On really clear nights the black stripe of the edge of the galaxy really stands out. Having said that, it reminds me of the last time I was at Linden about 3 weeks ago and I could see Centaurus A through my 8x50 FINDERSCOPE which was VERY impressive!
Good luck with your star hopping and your Jen handling......
Cheers
Chris
