Yet another M108/M97

It has been a long time since I've posted any image - or even processed one. Switching cameras (only took a year and a half) and some health issues all got in the way of imaging......but things are up and running again. I was more than a little light on the data, and had to work around my urban skies and a nearby moon - but I got an image. Here is the image data:

Telescope: FRC-300 Takahashi
Camera: Apogee U16M
Luminance: 120 Minutes
RGB: 40 Minutes each

I'm more than a little rusty at everything, and I almost let M108 slip out of the FOV - but it just feels good to be back in the saddle. 8)

Comments and suggestions always appreciated!

Thanks!

Neat image Mike and glad to see you are back at it.

Clear skies,

Your image looks great to me. I know what you mean about getting rusty. There's so much going on at once and everything has to be just right. If you don't do it for a while you have to stop and think "Now what do I do next?" Take care. Henry

Excellent, Mike! It's good to see you're back. Wonderful setup you've got. I'm also glad to hear the health issues are hopefully resolving.

Best,
Tom

Mike,
Nice image! looks great to me with framing that gets both objects.

Nice to see you posting - hope there is more to come.

Michael, first of all, glad to hear you are better now (healthwise)... welcome back!
That one great widefield shot my friend... lovely detail & colors!

Also, you have some awesome equipment... congrats, enjoy it! 8)


Thanks for sharing, and keep'em coming!

Michael, very nice indeed!

Sweet image Michael! I'm glad to see that you are back with us again. I always enjoy your images.
Cheers,
Tyler
