Andromeda (M31) is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and the farthest object that can bee seen with the naked eye. With binoculars or a telescope, you can spot M32, a small companion galaxy that Andromeda will one day consume. October 2015 is a good time to see them, along with Saturn (after sunset) and Mars, Venus, and Jupiter (before sunrise). Also, the Orionid Meteor shower will peak on the night of Oct. 21st into the morning of the 22nd.
