M108 - Surfboard Galaxy

[geoflewis]

I've not seen many images of this target, so didn't have a lot of reference images to check my processing. I got just over 4 hours data last night with passing clouds spoiling some of the sub images and could really do with more, but here it is anyway.....

Comments and feedback always welcome.

Cheers, Geof

I only found this to find 41p gliding past..

Michael, nucdoc and Stephen, thanks for the feedback.

Newbie Alert, I had no idea that 41P was in the region until I saw someone post an image on the QSI forum this morning....

Looks like I missed an opportunity as that fly by was the day after I shot my image, but I'm not sure that it would have worked out well if I'd tried to capture that alongside M108 with over 4 hours of 10 min sub exposures.

Cheers, Geof
