The Andromeda Galaxy was obvious to the naked eye. It took some work to get the Dobsonian pointed at it, since it was close to the zenith. With my Telrad dead (I must have accidentally left it on for the last month), it took a fair amount of trial and error to locate the galaxy with the 49x eyepiece, but once I swept it up it was unmistakable: the huge, bright, fuzzy core and the fainter arms spilling out of the field.

Unable to detect any thickening of M31's arms in the region of M110 with 7x50s. Gave only a quick look, however, without ascertaining the exact position.
