M97 and M108:

With poor sky conditions from low haze and bright moonlight, I used narrowband to take some SHO data of M97 and M108 towards a slightly clearer area of sky last night using an ASI 533MM Pro camera attached to a Sky-Watcher 80 Esprit fitted with a field flattener. Some 4.7 hours of data were taken which were then stacked and processed in Pixinsight. The two objects were then cropped to show enlarged views of these comparatively small objects which are located in the Plough (Ursa Major). M97 is a planetary nebula some 2,030 LY away lying close to the pointers of the plough. A barred spiral galaxy M108 (The Surfboard galaxy) is in the same region of sky viewed from Earth but lies some 46 million light years distant.
