- Description: Planetary nebula in Ursa Major, on the left side of the picture. The galaxy on the right is
Messier 108. This image is a digital composite of two film images - one colour, one B&W. M97 (NGC3587) is a really
nice planetary nebula. Not the brightest target at 12th magnitude measuring in at 3.4 arc minutes across but is really
nice in a large scope under dark skies or with a light pollution filter.

- Scope: 8" f6 Newtonian for both.
- Exposure: 55 Minutes tech-pan, 40 minutes Ektachrome
- Location: Willow Creek for tech-pan, Carseland for Ektachrome
- Date: May 7 1994 for tech-pan, 23 March 1990 for Ektachrome
