Description

When I went outside I had no idea what I was going to image. I looked around for a few minutes

and decided that I would try and image M97 and M108. I usually image these objects once a year.

So I thought tonight would be a good opportunity to get my image of these objects for the year.

I decided that I would use my Orion 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph because I had fun with it last

night and I captured some nice data with a lot of contrast. Tonight the sky was dark, clear, and

transparent. I also captured nice data with a lot of contrast tonight. I've never imaged these

two objects in the same field of view with my 8 Inch Newtonian. With all of that said please

enjoy my most recent image of M97 and M108.
