Hi Shuttle , depending on where you live, and the degree of light pollution.
Centaurus A is a beauty (NGC5128) - quite large and bright (for a galaxy).
The Sculpter galaxies are also wonderful, large and quite bright (as per list supplied by Dylan).
M31 is the amazing Andromeda Galaxy, and is visible from my place as naked eye, but depending where you live.
Many galaxies are smaller, with low surface brightness, and tricky to spot, but there are other brighter ones.
The Leo triplet are a delight - 3 visible in the EP (eyepiece).
