An Owl with a Halo
Image Description and Details : Messier 97 - a planetary nebula in Ursa Major sporting its faint OIII Halo. It is approximately 2,030 light years from Earth.
I was pleased to be able to tease out some of the structure of the faint outer OIII halo - especially as most of the OIII data was captured from my Bortle 8 sky in London because Spain has been clouded out for the past month.
Image captured on my remote dual rig at Fregenal de la Sierra in Spain and my C11 telescope in London between 14 January - 24 March 2022.
Scopes: APM TMB LZOS 152 Refractors, C11 reflector
