It's too bad it isn't brighter. I managed to see most of it one time when I was in an place with 'good seeing' and a very dark sky (150 miles from the nearest city).

I'd been looking at that part of the sky for a long time, and was astonished that something that big had always been there!

These maps may help you to find the nearest dark spots.

I would like to know if there's estimates for how long it should be before Andromeda gets near enough to be as visible as the moon in plain daylight. (All else being equal.)
