Well, in the two large satellite galaxies the large and small Magellanic clouds, stars are easily resolvable in amateur telescopes. In M31, 20 to 30 inch telescopes can bring out at least a few of the galaxy's most luminous stars, but by in large, much of that galaxy's stars remain unresolved. When there is a supernova in another galaxy, it can often be seen in many modest apertures, but otherwise, visual observations of the stars in most other galaxies is beyond the ability of the human eye. Clear skies to you.
