The distinctive “W” of Cassiopeia is almost overhead by late evening. Use this to locate the “Square of Pegasus” which is to the south. From the top-left star of the “Square” follow a line of three stars forming part of Andromeda. From the second of these stars turn right and at right angles through two stars to reach a faint elongated patch of light – the Andromeda Galaxy, M31 - the most distant object normally visible to the naked eye.
