Nearby galaxies from the Updated Nearby Galaxy Catalog of Karachentsev et al. (2013) in a supergalactic coordinate projection. Brown stars correspond to galaxies with ﹩\mathrm{log}({L}_{K}/{L}_{\odot })﹩ ≳ 10, while other marked, prominent galaxies are less luminous (see Table 1). In this work, we explore the discovery space at three fiducial distances of 1.5, 3.5, and 5 Mpc, which encompass the major structures amenable to ground-based resolved star searches for dwarf galaxies.
