Closetgeek,

If this attempt to view Andromeda (M31) is more than just a one-time thing and you are planning to view other objects, you really need to pick up a book of star-maps or get them off the internet (capture and print screen images maybe). From the star-maps you can then learn to star-hop to find dozens of naked-eye objects, hundreds of binocular objects, and thousands of telescope objects. There have been a few threads on good observing books that you can find easily with a search.
