barrym Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi,My name is Barry I live in North Norfolk and I am a newcomer to the hobby.I have been watching Jupiter and her moons lately with my 10x50 binoculars but can't find the Andromeda galaxy. Can anyone direct me from Jupiter to Andromeda as my knowledge of the night sky is very basic,RegardsBarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a free download which will show you around the night sky and I used it to find Andromeda for the first time. Just make sure you put in a location near you! I think the default is Paris.I bet you have nice dark skies there in Norfolk ... I am not really jealous ... well maybe a little!Let us know how you get on.

Double Kick Drum Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi and welcome to the lounge.Ditto all the Stellarium advice. Andromeda should be a fuzzy smudge easily seen in binoculars, even in less than decent seeing conditions.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
