Good luck with Andromeda, I spotted it 2 weeks ago about 3:45am. Its a long wait.

Thanks for that :), good that it's nice night, first night that my old bones have allowed me to stay up. Have had to curtail any movement at the moment, a couple have decided to set up camp down by the back wall, don't really want to advertise myself to them :(, hopefully they will not last too long :D

I think this couple were out to ruin my night :(, although the mount is practically silent in moving I did not use it and went indoors leaving it latched on to Andromeda and waited for them to go. So an hour and a half later, all silent, I ventured out and decided to do a tour of the heavens, was able to see 6 out of 10 of the target Messiers, Andromeda came out of the murk of the town light pollution at 0315, this was my first sighting so went to bed later a happy bunny, a good night all round.
