I looked, it is very nice. But no, you would never be able to see a single star from that galaxy. All those stars that you can see in the image of the galaxy are from our galaxy, as is the case for any galaxy image you will find.

Put it this way, if you have an image of a galaxy that  is about 1000 pixels across, a star the size of our Sun would occupy about 1/587,000,000 of a pixel. I'd hate to see the size of a jpeg that could show that! ;-)

 

EDIT: I just tried working that out, and at 600 dpi, an image showing the sun at just one pixel wide would be just over 25,000 km wide. Fucking hell.

 

That's almost as scary as how long it would take to get to the next star under our current propulsion maximums (approx. 115,000 years).
