Hi Glen and All I have observed NGC 2573 (Polarissima Australis) on a number of occasion's and as stated is difficult in a 16" but not impossible.
It requires the galaxy to be in prime position and no light pollution to pull this one.
There is also an NGC2573b which is in the same ballpark Magnitude wise.
