Hi Ash,

As Les says, from a dark site M31 is naked eye, looks good in binoculars, try your longest FL eyepiece in your scope. M31 is a bit of a disappointment from oz, one of the few things the Northern Hemisphere has going for it.

It will be at its highest above your Northern horizon at about 10pm in late Oct. This time of the year it has set before it gets dark and doesn't rise until after the Sun in the morning.

Put it on your list for later in the year.

Regards
Trevor
