Local Group Galaxies

We would like to collect images of as many local group galaxies as possible. There are over 40 in the group but the majority will probably be beyond the reach of amateurs. However, many are easy – M31 is naked eye and M33 can be from a good sky. There are others that are challenging but not impossible. For starters try the following objects.
