That’s not bad at all. I suppose I could see M33 with my 80mm binoculars as a fuzzy dot. It’s 18 quintillion miles, btw. Two really messed up galaxies are the Magellanic clouds, which were once spiral but are now irregular due to their closeness to our own.

I hear under dark skies with near perfect conditions, 33 can just be seen with the unaided eye.
