Hey, you can see it
with your naked eyes! If you
use binoculars,
it can look cool, too.
Not like the time-lapse stuff, but
some see it like this:
You can see the Andromeda Galaxy with the naked eye alone if you have a dark enough sky. Star hop from Mirach to the star in the opposite 'leg' to Andromeda. It will look like a fuzzy patch. Not looking right at it may reveal it easier (averted vision can see dimmer objects than direct vision.) I have read that it is the farthest thing visible to the naked eye--some 2 million light years away.
