I tried the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 7424 in Grus with my 12 inch at home last month but didn't get a whiff of it. It is very diffuse. The sky-glow here is about 20.4 mags/sq arcsec. I think the sky needs to be much darker.

I've attempted IC 5332, which is a similar galaxy from outer suburbs using a 12" and managed to see a compact core with a very low surface brightness halo. These type of objects are very poorly suited to observation from anything less than a fully fledged dark site.
