The galaxy M 108 and the planetary nebula M 97 are an attractive duo in the large field of view of the Moravian. The outer O3-shell of the PN can be seen as a delicate envelope in this image.
The shell can be seen more distinctly in this image with the 40cm-Newton.
Its been a while that this dissimilar pair was imaged by me:
