The enormous dipper composed of stars from Pegasus, Andromeda, and Perseus takes up a good chunk of the sky. From midnorthern latitudes in early November, you will see this formation overhead in the evenings. The southwest horizon is below the bottom edge of this image.

If you look on that star map, draw a line from the star Mirach to the red label +Zenith. About half way along that line and a little above it is a kind of smudge.
That is the Andromeda galaxy. The most distant thing you can see with your naked eye.

I've been interested in the sky for nearly 60 years. I've never heard of the Autumn Dipper.

Hmmm, looks a lot like the great square of Pegasus.
