Both the Milky Way and M31 have numerous dwarf galaxies. The local group is a collection of galaxies that are gravationally bound to the Milkyway/M31 pair. Included is the SMC and LMC, M33, NGC6822, IC1613 and about 30 galaxies of smaller size. Many of the Local Group galaxies present themselves as good observing challenges.
