M31 is best viewed through wide field scopes and binoculars. My best views of M31 and its companions have come from my tripod mounted 20x80LW's. The galaxy just seemed to stretch on forever. For more detailed closeups, try using at least a 6". One dust lane was readily visible from Leyburn, Brisbane (dark and tranparent night) in my Celestron /Vixen C6 (6" f/5 newtonian) and the core appeared starlike.
