I also live in the area and have attached an uncalibrated happy snap of M31 taken from my backyard pier last year using Askar ACL200 and 294MC camera. The town is in a large valley with good hill shielding on all sides. PM me if you want further info
Thanks Mike for your suggestion. I'll check that out. That's a great 'snap' of M31 - I'd be pretty happy with that given what we can normally see (or not). I'll PM you in the next few days... Cheers, Chris
