Re:Hubble takes gigantic image of the Triangulum Galaxy by lordnacho on Thursday January 10, 2019 @04:32AM (#18872623)
I was wondering about this as well, haven't ever found a good answer.

Only addresses visible stars, which are all in our Galaxy. The thing is Andromeda actually covers more of the night sky than the moon, so I kinda wonder if an instrument could resolve individual stars. I don't know a whole lot about that other than Airy discs, which would suggest no, stars are too close to each other in angular terms.
