An 8" will show some spiral structure in the brighter galaxies like M31, M33, M100, M51 etc, but don't expect to see much with many of the galaxies except faint smudges.

I see that you have a GSTAR -EX video camera.
How do galaxies appear when using one of these special ''super astro video cams''?'
