Milky Way

-26.74 (≈ (the Sun)[nb 1])

0

Sagittarius (centre)

This is our galaxy, most things visible to the naked-eye in the sky are part of it, including the Milky Way composing the Zone of Avoidance.[5]

Large Magellanic Cloud

0.9

160 kly (50 kpc)

Dorado/Mensa

Visible only from the southern hemisphere. It is also the brightest patch of nebulosity in the sky.[5][6][7]

Small Magellanic Cloud (NGC292)

2.7

200 kly (60 kpc)

Tucana

Visible only from the southern hemisphere.[5][8]

Andromeda Galaxy (M31, NGC224)

3.4

2.5 Mly (780 kpc)

Andromeda

Once called the Great Andromeda Nebula, it is situated in the Andromeda constellation.[5][9]

Omega Centauri (NGC5139)

3.7

18 kly (5.5 kpc)

Centaurus

Once thought to be a star and later a globular cluster, Omega Centauri was confirmed as having a black hole at its center and thus its status has been changed to being a dwarf galaxy as of April 2010.[10]

This is still debated.[11]

Triangulum Galaxy (M33, NGC598)

5.7

2.9 Mly (900 kpc)

Triangulum

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.[12]

Centaurus A (NGC 5128)

7.8

13.7 ± 0.9 Mly (4.2 ± 0.3 Mpc)

Centaurus

Centaurus A has been spotted with the naked eye by Stephen James O'Meara[13]

Bode's Galaxy (M81, NGC3031)

7.89

12 Mly (3.6 Mpc)

Ursa Major

Highly experienced amateur astronomers may be able to see Messier 81 under exceptional observing conditions.[14][15][16]

Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253)

8.0

11.4 ± 0.7 Mly (3.5 ± 0.2 Mpc)

Sculptor

According to Brian A. Skiff, the naked-eye visibility of this galaxy is discussed in an old Sky & Telescope letter or note from the late 1960s or early 1970s.[17]

Messier 83 (NGC 5236)

8.2

14.7 Mly (4.5 Mpc)

Hydra

M83 has reportedly been seen with the naked eye.[18]
