What a coincidence! I just came back inside after an observing session that included NGC 1566. At 167x and averted vision I think I might have seen hints of spiral arms, but nothing concrete. This was from my home in the suburbs, which is actually quite alright for a suburban location. I have to try this one again from my dark sky site.
I only wish we had something more like M51 here...
