M97 and M108 - The Owl and the Galaxy

[AMcD]

This is another work in progress as I tried to escape the ever brightening moon by imaging as far away from it as I could get.  This is 4 hours 35 minutes of 300 sec integrations taken using a QHY8 OSC with an Optolong L-Extreme narrowband filter through a TS152 achromat on a Losmandy G11.  Acquired using SGPro and PHD2 and processed in Adobe PS.  As the wind and rain has moved in again, we might be at the new moon before I get to add more data...

Impressive especially given the moonlight - this pair are a tough target!  Yes, wind and rain set in for some time.
