June 25th 2017, Port Mouton, Nova Scotia.
Canon T3i (modified), 8″ Sky-Watcher Newtonian Astrograph, CGEM mount, Tele Vue coma corrector, Sky-Watcher 80-mm ED and Orion Starshooter with PhD for guiding.
Each photo stacked and processed initially in Images Plus. Stretched in IP Digital Development. Colour balanced and background neutralized. Feature mask used with Hue Saturation and Luminance App in IP. Cropped.
While I can attach a Tele Vue Powermate 2X with which to zoom in to objects, I prefer the quality of the photographs that come out using the full view of the astrograph. With that in mind I took a photo with both M97, the planetary nebula, and M108, the galaxy, in the field of view. I believe there is still enough detail in the planetary nebula and it provides an interesting contrast to the colourful M108. Reducing the size of the photo for submission removes some of the detail in M97.
