All of the constellations we can see are within our own galaxy. In the southern hemisphere we can see two satellite galaxies of our own ( The Magellanic Clouds) with the naked eye, but in general, other galaxies are too far away for us to be able to make out individual stars. In the Northern hemisphere, the Andromeda galaxy is just visble to the naked eye as a single fuzzy star , and is part of the constellation Andromeda.

Not only within our own galaxy, but nearly all are close neighbors to us by galactic standards. Most stars visible with binoculars are within 3000 light-years, while the entire Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years in diameter.
The only exceptions are a few distant galaxies visible with binocs, such as M31, M33, the Magellanic Clouds. The Messier List contains over two dozen galaxies that are visible with good binoculars.

Yes, you are right. Binoculars only can magnify about 10 times the object. Hence, we can only see the part of solar system by binoculars and yes, solar system lies on the Milky Way.

yes due to the fact that binoculars don't have the optical power to view individual stars within other galaxies.

specific, each and every of the celebrities we are in a position to verify with our bare eyes are interior the Milky way Galaxy. What you examine ought to have been pertaining to the main physique of the Milky way, it quite is seen from darkish places as a faint milky band around the sky, as damaging to the close by Milky way stars that are all around us.
