Abstract:
    We present results of CCD imaging in B, V of five late-type galaxies
    with radial velocities V_0_<350km/s in the Canes Venatici cloud. Based
    on the photometry of their brightest blue stars we derived the
    following distances to the galaxies: 9.7Mpc for NGC 4144, 4.5Mpc for
    NGC 4244, 4.2Mpc for NGC 4395, 2.9Mpc for NGC 4449, and 8.2Mpc for
    UGC 8331.
