Hi Omaroo, it sounds like you and Jenny had a great night with the scopes.
Did you know in 30 years as a amateur astronomer I have never seen Andromeda, It has always been in the wrong place for me to observe.
Hopefully that will all change soon as the C8 is now set up at the our beach house and I'll have a clear view across the ocean to the North right to horizon's edge and a dark sky as well. I'm eagerly looking forward to finally getting to view this elusive galaxy.
cheers
