I'm by an airport but the more I look up, the darker it gets, along the edges of the horizon it's blue, but looking straight up is decently dark. I'm a good 5 miles from the actual bright city, but I think that's still enough to get some light pollution. There are also very bright street lights which I might be able to shut off with my lasers and see if that helps, but I'm guessing that's illegal.
I looked at Stellarium and Andromeda looked no way bigger than the moon at the time, but I guess you can't judge that by a program. I looked and looked for it all night last night with my 25mm eyepiece.
I got some diffuse stuff around a star last night with my 24-70 F2.8 at around 50mm, but I couldn't find it with my 70-300.
I will try again tonight and hope the full moon goes down before 3AM. I can see some of M42 at 4.0 Magnitude, so I should be able to see Andromeda Better at 3.4 Magnitude.
