Hi Gill,

Pictures from the major observatory telescopes and Hubble show individual stars in nearby galaxies. Observers with large amateur scopes might be able to resolve stars in the Magellanic clouds although I have not heard of it being done.




See this recent thread on observing the LMC from Australia in April.
