Amateur. In a dark location, on a clear night, I can see the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.3 million light years away.
Triangulum Galaxy is a smidge farther away (~2.7Mly) and also naked eye visible with the right sky conditions and good eyes.
I dont think 400000 times light can travel in a year of difference is "slightly further away"
What's a few hundred thousand light years between friends?
