This image shows you two spiral galaxies about 3 degrees southeast of Cor Caroli, alpha Canum Venaticorum. An upper right has a number of NGC5005. We're seeing the galaxy from a bit slant angle from being edge-on, and the galaxy has a long axis of about 5 arc minutes. Visual brightness is about 10th magnitude, an elliptical dimmed light can be seen through medium ranged telescopes. Although this picture cannot show you clear spiral structure, a bright nucleus detectable. And another one in lower left is NGC5033, having dimmed arms coiled up.
