Hi all. I managed to get a little imaging time last night and decided to try a little narrowband... given that big bright moon. So I trained the scope on M97 and collected data all night. I had lots of bad frames for some reason, but got 6 each Ha and OIII frames to combine. I used the OIII for green and blue and the Ha for red. Attached is a crop of the Owl himself.
Notice that you can begin to make out the larger shell that is very faint. I may try to get some additional data to pull that bigger shell out a little better. It does not show up in most images of the Owl.
Here is a link to my website. Click the thumbnails for the "clickable" full version.
