Thanks everyone, yes Beaner I can get the scope to Lee point, have been thinking about doing that.....just the skies are so patchy and unpredictable currently and I don't have a cover in case it starts to rain. Had a quick session tonight....moved the scope as far back as I could and got to observe Andromeda as soon as it got dark...about 35 degrees altitude. It gets to low for me later. I found a tidy little app called Astrosky which charts graphically transit times, altitudes and direction for the year. I can't seem to find that info in sky safari, unless I just simply speed through time and virtually observe. Anyway Astrosky tells me that andromeda is as good as it gets currently (or near abouts) so am going to concentrate on it over the next few sessions.
