"M97, Owl with Sketch"

The Owl Nebula is a wonderful Spring object located in the constellation Ursa Major, just 2 degrees from the star Merak in the bowl of the Big Dipper. Hence, this bright star forms an ideal jumping off point for a starhop to the object. Follow along as John Baars describes his view of the planetary and several other objects, primarily galaxies in Leo. He also has completed a fabulous sketch of M97. Congratulations John on winning the VROD for the day!
