HOW TO FIND IT:

To find the constellation Cetus, locate Taurus. The "V" shaped arrow of Taurus known as the Hyades points to Alpha, Delta and Gamma in Cetus. M77 will be near Delta, just outside the triangle's area.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

M77 is a spiral galaxy that we view face-on, but it will still have a slight oval shape.
