M97 - Owl Nebula + M108 - Surfboard Galaxy

[Aramcheck]

From last night (& early morning)... 46 x 3min subs. Canon 600D (astromodified) + SW200dps + EQ6, Bortle 6 sky with IDAS D2 light pollution filter. Taken with APT & processed in Pixinsight.

2nd night guiding, so next task will be to get more familiar with PHD2 and attempt dithering. PHD2 reported that the Dec had large backlash, but it calibrated & seems to have worked ok.

Cheers

Nice job. Feels great once you manage to guide for longer subs

I don't see many images of M97 for some reason... Good job!

[MarkAR]

Nice combination, lovely image.

[rickwayne]

Certainly no probs with trailing there.

I thought it would also be worth cropping both objects at the original size taken. With the 200dps & Canon 600d, that works out at about 0.885 arcseconds per pixel.
