Looks like I get to eat some astronomical crow. My two prior posts on finding M51 and M101 errorenously list them as members of the more distant UMa Galaxy Group. They are in fact part of the much closer Coma Sculptor Galaxy Group. 3D Chart of the Coma Sculptor Galaxy Group Z-Y galactic plane view http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3244 Color coding - Dark Blue Local Group Red Coma - Sculptor Cloud Green - dark Leo Cloud Green - light Leo Spur Purple Triangulum Spur Teal Virgo Cluster and Southern Extension Yellow - dark Fornax Cluster and Eridanus Cloud Yellow - light Dorado Cloud Black Not coded in this view My apologies for the error. - Kurt
