Was tinkering around with my little tracking mount tonight and on a whim, pointed it towards the big dipper and started taking 30 second exposures. Ended up catching a Galaxy (m108) and a planetary nebula (greenish blotch) M97. Was surprised I managed this. Camera acted a bit goofy though where it just dropped the curtain and went to sleep while I was trying to frame.
I know there is nothing much here to look at, I was just surprised I actually got something in such a short exposure and under pretty bad light pollution.
