PeteMo please dont be fooled by the mere smudge, this is a galaxy that can be seen almost with the naked eye, incredible!! it is about 2.5 million light years away, and a light year is only....... 9.46 trillion Km in photon travelling distance.. apologies if those figures are known.
The more time you spend at the eyepiece with this galaxy, and the other galaxies around it, the more detail and subtleties you will discern.
M31 is gonna take us out shortly anyhow..LOL
Congratulations on finding Andromeda and i hope you get the time to investigate the many other lovely but faint sights about it, showing others Andromeda galaxy M31 is usually rewarding on account of its true observable size and the reactions it gets.
