Description

M97 Owl Nebula together with M108 Surfboard Galaxy. This one is a very interesting couple located in the constellation Ursa Major. M97 is a small planetary nebula around 2000 light years away, while M108 is a barred spiral galaxy around 45 million light years away.

There are A LOT of galaxies visible in the background. I find myself just wandering around and being amazed about the unbelievable depth of space in this area of the sky.
