There's a nice guide to finding Leo from Bristol's 'We the Curious' here : https://www.wethecurious.org/curious-stuff/stargazing-night-sky/where-can-i-find-leo and a gorgeous picture of the Leo triplet of galaxies here: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/galaxies/leo-triplet/.
A recent view of our own galaxy is available here: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/285/the-milky-way-galaxy/
