	Sunflower Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sunflower Galaxy (also known as Messier 63, M63, or NGC 5055) is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation.
		The Sunflower Galaxy is part of the M51 Group, a group of galaxies that also includes the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51).
		M63 is one of the early recognized spiral galaxies, listed by Lord Rosse as one of 14 "spiral nebulae" discovered in 1850.

	Messier Object 63
		Messier 63 (M63, NGC 5055), nicknamed the Sunflower Galaxy, is a beautiful spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici.
		The Sunflower galaxy M63 is one of the early recognized spiral galaxies, listed by Lord Rosse as one of 14 "spiral nebulae" discovered to 1850.
		Although 6 degrees south, it apparently forms a physical group with M51 and several smaller galaxies, the M51 group, which is about 37 million light years distant.

	M-63, Spiral Galaxy, aka The Sunflower Galaxy
		To others, the structure apparently resembles some vast celestial flower, since the galaxy has received the popular name of the "Sunflower".
		The sudden discontinuity in the brightness between the inner and outer spiral features is the chief characteristic of the M63 type of galaxies, which are known as "multiple-arm spirals".
		The very beautiful spiral NGC 2841 in Ursa Major would have a very similar appearance if its outer arms were a little looser in structure.

	Sunflower Galaxy (M63, NGC 5055)
		A spiral galaxy (type Sb or Sc) in Canes Venatici that appears to lie in the M51 Group dominated by the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51); it was discovered in 1779 by Pierre Méchain.
		The Sunflower's spiral arms show up as a grainy background, which brightens slowly at first, going in from the periphery, but then rapidly to the nuclear region.
		It hosted a Type I supernova (1971I), first seen on May 25, 1971, which reached magnitude 11.8.

	Telescope Reviews: The Sunflower Galaxy - M63
		Realising the outer regions of this galaxy are very dim, do you think maybe the number of 5 minute subs weren't enough with just 25 of them?
		I want to use the SCT this moon cycle, but I'll be moving the mount so I can track further west near the equator and go for some Virgo and Coma galaxies.
		hi gang - i wanted to bring deans sunflower back to the front because i didn't get a comment in.

		Did the moon glow push the light info up too fast?
		Here's one with the SCT took last year.
		Unfortunately, my view to the north will be blocked.
