How to find the Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

The easiest method to find M31 is to look for the giant square of Pegasus, then look for the star that is at the upper left on the side that points north, then go left to find 2 vertical stars, then left to find 3 vertical stars, and M31 will be at about 2 o'clock. At our stargazing events, we point a laser to it, the guest used binos to find the end of our laser, then we turn off the laser, and it is in view for the guest. Works every time!
