For a sense of scale: the most distant extrasolar planet is 21,500 ± 3,300 light years away, and rather hypothetical-- look at the size of the error bar on that distance.
The nearest dwarf satellite galaxy is 25,000 light years away, so I suppose we've got a chance of seeing planets there.
The nearest actual galaxy is Andromeda, at 2.5 million light years.
