M97 with Faulkes Telescope North

Great image of M97 in Ursa Major. Known as the 'Owl Nebula' because of its distinctive similarity to the face of an owl, M97 is a planetary nebula with a 16th magnitude central star- here easily captured by the Faulkes telescope in Hawaii. The image was captured and processed by Bill Leslie at the Going Nova science event on Saturday 12th November.
