This is an easy easy find.

First find Leo’s nose (the end of the backward question mark).

Go further west and down and there is a fairly bright star Lambda Leo. Straight south is the galaxy. A good pair of binoculars will show a smudge.

Worth the effort.

Forget using GoTo. That is the difference between observing and just looking. Finding and study.

That GoTo computer drive so far has been a joke. My problem manually searching is the field of view. Got several eyepieces now, so guess the trick it find stuff with widest view and then narrow it down.
