Hi this site looks really useful

I have been given a star by my girlfriend in the andromeda constellation. I am having difficulty locating this as my limited knowledge of astronomy relates to the constellations Orion and the plough.

It would be great if you could mail any tips or directions to andromeda. Also which time of year is best to view this. I live in central England.

Many thanks

is right above the second fainter star (See the image). As said earlier, this is a little more difficult way to find Andromeda. Start with this information and without any equipment. Leave a comment if this information was not usefull or if you would like to ask something more.

Hi,i was looking for the Andromeda galaxy and couldn`t find it.I happened on your page and within minutes i had found it in my telescope.I think it must be extremely hard to try to find this with binoculars as i have a 6″ Newtonian reflector telescope and it looks like a smear of fairly dim light.But thanks to your info,i was able to get it.Thanks a lot.FEZ

Many objects can be seen with naked eyes, and Andromeda (M31) is one of those. It is the most distant object that can be seen without equipment such as a telescope. in Indonesia me can view this with naked eyes?

slim, I appologize for this very late reply. If I was you, I would first try with your binoculars. If you can’t find, then just try bigger ones or jump directly to telescopes. With automated tracking systems you can let the telescope find the target automatically.
