Can you get up early!!

Around 5am - M31 (Andromeda Galaxy) almost directly north, up at about 22 deg elevation from your location. If it is dark enough, you may catch a glimpse of it naked eye - otherwise a pair of binoculars should locate it for you. (in fact, you will probably have 2 or maybe three galaxies in the FOV - research M32 and M110)
