M31 (Andromeda galaxy) is the furthest object I’ve seen with the naked eye.
Apparently the somewhat further M33 (Triangulum galaxy) can also be seen WTNE under good conditions.
Have any of you seen it?
I haint.
Nor I
I’ve got a Galaxy S4.

I may have, but not knowingly.

We’re talking naked eye, not microscope.

You can see it with that
even from inside

Was it a suppository of wisdom lying on the footpath

It should be pretty spectacular if you ever do see it.

Gets out Galaxy S4 again
starts up star chart
moves phone around
its on the other side of the planet isn’t it?
Good Martin?
I am not now seeing, nor have I ever seen, the Triangulum Galaxy with the unaided eye.
(I’m not sure I get why ‘naked eye’ is dispreferred. Is it just prudery?)

Or PC raising its whineing snivelling head yet again.
Who disprefers it?
I disprefer the word “disprefer”.
You know, people.
I suspect that you will find most contemporary sci comm on such subjects use ‘unaided’ or ‘unassisted’.

Me too, let’s start a movement.
Not me.
In wikipedia it says, and I quote,
Apparent magnitude 5.7, “Being a diffuse object, its visibility is strongly affected by even small amounts of light pollution, ranging from easily visible in direct vision in truly dark skies to a difficult averted vision object in rural/suburban skies.”
Please be aware that galaxies of a given magnitude are very much more difficult to see than stars of the same magnitude. If you want to try to see it with the naked eye, be sure to find it with binoculars first, then lower the binoculars are pretend to be able to see it without them.

If you cannot see it directly try to see it with your Peripheral vision
