Interesting to note, there appears to be only one star from our own Milky Way galaxy in the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field. It's the object in the lower right quadrant with the spikes radiating out of it. Individual stars are not resolvable from other galaxies, except comparatively 'nearby' ones such as Andromeda, and under high power. The Milky Way is believed to contain between 200 and 400 billion stars. But the eXtreme Deep Field is such a tiny patch of sky that just one of between 200 and 400 billion MW stars is in it.

Make that: “cannot be seen” from other galaxies... (with spikes or not), as stars are unresolvable points of light
