Images of Nearby Galaxies

The Triangulum Galaxy is already almost face-on to Earth, so would only take a little tweaking to become a top-down map. Andromeda is a bit more tilted relative to us, so might take a bit more work.
Interestingly, the Andromeda Galaxy shows a ring-like, rather than a spiral-like structure in several wavelengths; any top-down map should indicate this structure.
