No, I don't have that wide of field image to include both objects in one frame... But, after short focal length Nebula season and some weather challenges, it is time for some longer focal length activity. Boy, am I out of practice. Here is M108 - I seem to be always challenged by this guy. M108 image and exposure / processing details are at:

Scope: C8 at f/8
Camera: Artemis285 Astronomik LRGB filters
Mount: G11/Gemini
Guiding: Megrez 80 mm at 555 mm FL, DSI Pro, PhD Guiding.

So the Rosette was a DSLR effort from an earlier evening on a different setup - this was a wide field effort:
