Description

Trying my hand at galaxies from the Bortle 7 back yard. It's been years since I tried M108 and we get the Owl as a bonus. I shot this with a tandem scope set up FLT132 for luminance 300 mins with ASI 6200 MM and and FLT91 for RGB and narrow band. I shot the RGB 50 mins each channel with the  ASI2600 MM and used an Optolong LExtreme (100 mins) and the ASI2600 MC for Ha and O3. I have to say I was really pleased with the detail and colors given the light pollution. Poor M108 is often overlooked but it's actually quite colorful and detailed!

Thanks

John
