I'm not sure where it is located but Andromeda is a galaxy not a constellation.

I find the constellation of Andromeda by finding the North Star first. On one side of the North Star is the constellation known as the big dipper in the USA and the plough in the UK. On the opposite side of the North Star is a "W" shaped constellation known as "Cassiopiea". If you measure the distance from the North Star to Cassiopiea and then go that same distance again farther away from the North Star, you will come to Andromeda.

I live in Illinois and it is now 8:50 pm and Andromeda is east northeast at about 10 oclock high! And yes there is a constellation called Andromeda! The Andromeda galaxy is smack in the middle of it! I just looked at the galaxy in my reflector!

It will be next to the "Great square of Pegasus", which is probably easier to find. In reply to first answer, Andromeda is a constellation, the galaxy M31 is also called Andromeda because it is located within the constellation.
