I explain how to locate the Sunflower Galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation, one of four spiral galaxies in the constellation. This galaxy is also known as NGC 5055 in the New General Catalogue.

In this article I want to show you how to find M106 galaxy and what is great about it, since it comes from an interesting part of the night sky below Ursa Major and above the small Canes Venatici constellation. As there are five Messier galaxies and also a number of smaller galaxies in this region of the night sky.

In this article we are going to discuss what is potentially the easiest Galaxies to see in the light polluted skies and this is the Whirlpool Galaxy or Messier 51.
