Hi Ibrahim - 253 is a behemoth compared to M104, it'll be big and bright in your 12" scope. Should be easier to find too. Lots of galaxies in that general area - NGC 247 is quite close but is smaller and a veritable 'ghost' compared to 253! NGC 55 is a treasure, a big galaxy not much less impressive than NGC 253 and with a distinctly lop-sided appearance. Good luck & I look forward to your report when the time comes!
Cheers -
