You really can't tell the difference between a star and a galaxy with the naked eye. With a modest telescope, you can pick out a few hundred.
In the 1700's, the French astronomer Charles Messier was a comet hunter. He kept finding things that looked like comets, but were not. Messier compiled a catalog of 110 objects; many of them turned out to be galaxies.
If you have a telescope, you can probably find several "Messier Objects", such as the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) or the Pinwheel Galaxy (M33).
