Toby, my M31 started out much fainter than that after stacking... I reckon you should be able to get something quite reasonable out of that..

Start with having a look at Martinb's tutorial http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-tips-tricks-techniques/46761-3-primer-how-stretch-histogram-using-levels-curves-long-download.html
