M-99
is a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. It is about 7 degrees
away from the magnitude 2 star, Denebola of the constellation Leo.
You will probably need dark skies and a 6-inch scope to view the central
core as it is a magnitude 10.4. A 12-inch or larger scope will probably
be needed to see the spiral arms.
