Like, yeah, not everyone could get even this "okay" image, but basically all I did was casually browse Telescopius for interesting galaxies that are near opposition and in the right part of the sky, plug the catalog number into an app on my tablet, and hit "go".
There's more to it than that, of course, but it's a cakewalk relative to the effort it would have taken even a decade ago. Seriously, now is an amazing time to get into #astronomy and #astrophotography. Never been easier.
