M97 (Owl Nebula) and M108 from Saratoga

by Jim Solomon

Here's the only image I've managed to capture in this cloud-plagued cycle, and while I was playing Ice Hockey to boot! Gotta love automation, which I've now gotten down pretty well, sans dithering. Still working on that.

M97 is sadly lacking in H-alpha. Vegas Odds Makers put the likelihood at "very low" of that IR Block filter staying on my Digital Rebel for much longer. :)

Anyway, here are the links:

This is with a Digital Rebel at prime of a coma-corrected 8" Newt. Full image details at the links above.
