I have looked at NGC 2419 with a C8 on 3 Jan 2014, from within the city, SQM 18.3. 10 mm Pentax XW, 203x.

NGC 2419 is weak, but visible with direct sight most of the time. It is next to three bright stars, two of them are visible in the sketch. I used the Astronomik CLS filter to boost the contrast a bit, having a black cloth over my head helped a lot more.
