Thats great Steve! Especially from such a low latitude like Hobart! Proves you should alwas give what you might think impossible a try.
I too saw the Andromeda from Sydney on Sunday night. It was the first time I had ever seen it and I really couldn't believe what I was seeing was over 2 million light years away.
In my 10" dob from light polluted Newington I could make out an oval shape with a brighter core. Almost like an oval globular cluster, just without the glittery appearance of globulars.
