My lens is f2.8. Of course the bigger the aperture the better, but as Andromeda is really bright a slower lens will work just fine. As I‘m only a beginner myself I can recommend the Youtube channel ‚nebula photos‘.
I used a Fuji XT2 with a 80mm Fujinon lens. As a mount I used the Star adventerer 2i.
I think with your equipment you could achieve an even better image, I really can only encourage everyone to try this. It really is an awesome experience

Inspired by many others we tried to capture M31 with our own equipment, an old Fuji camera with a 80mm lens.
The only additional tool we used for this shot was a cheap used star tracker so we could expand each shot to 20s. We captured a total of 411 shots which leads to a total exposure time of about 2h17m.
For our first try we are very pleased with the result!

First try of shooting Andromeda. The picture is more of an art image as I added a tilt shift effect.
