Just saw the centre of M31 (Andromeda Galaxy)

[middy]

I finally managed to pick out the centre of this great galaxy. It is very low in the sky (18 deg.) and my scope was pointing through the pool fence. My northern sky is very light polluted complete with street lights, but I managed to star hop to the centre of M31 and I could just make out the barest of smudges with averted vision. I'm happy now.

Good stuff Andrew!

The harder the target, the more we get a buzz from it. Well done

yup middy, i was very happy to see this at snake valley a year back.

m33 from memory was also close by and viewable with nice dark northerly skies

as ken said, these are the highlights, well done

Andrew, you should come up my way to observe. You can see it naked eye. Awesome!!
