You would be better looking for M31 with 7x50 binoculars, it's huge.

From memory you won't get the whole field in with your dob, even with a low power EP. I'm just over 41degrees S and I've never been able to spot it from this latitude, although I have heard that some have spotted it from a coastal location nearby.
