Hi Craig,
IMHO galaxies are not much to look at in small scopes.
It's amaizing to see most of them ... they're so damm far away ... but in my brief experience they generally have modest "smudge" appearance in small scopes (with many requring averted vision to see well).
I now just limit myself to:
- viewing the SMC and LMC from dark skies
- like you, waiting to see the Andromeda Galaxy later in the year
Cheers,
Jeff
