It can be frustrating Stu ..... many are only faint smudges that you can see using averted vision. You need to be relaxed and comfy, and take your time looking thru the EP, they may be there and you dont realise it.
Why dont you give the galaxies a miss for a couple of weeks, and check out some double stars, some of which are beautifully coloured, some cluster - bful open and globulars, and there are some decent sized nebula out there too.
Then head back to galaxies, after a bit more experience ... you WILL find them!!
PS ..... if you so a search for 'best double stars' 'best nebula' and 'best galaxies' .... will get you some great info.
