If you enjoyed Steve Gottlieb's article on merging galaxies in the June 2022 issue of Sky & Telescope, you might be in search of finder charts for the targets. Look no further: They're handily grouped here, starting with an overview of where the targets are located in the sky, followed by zooms to help you navigate your way to the galaxies in the order they're discussed in the article. Star labels are primarily placed above the object, but in some cases the label is below or to the side. Magnitudes are below the star names in italics.
