M 63, The Sunflower Galaxy, in Canes Venatici
M63 is
a classic spiral galaxy, but very faint (magnitude 9.6). Although it has somewhat more yellow than some other galaxies, it is hardly a "sunflower" in color. Canes Venatici is just below the handle of the Plough (Ursa Major), just above Coma Berenices. So get your binoculars out! |
