The Owl Nebula (M97) and the Surfboard Galaxy (M108)

Two Deep Space Objects in the same field of view! Howzat? The Owl Nebula is to the left (see his eyes?) and the Surfboard galaxy to the right. In reality, the Owl Nebula lies about 2,000 light years away, whereas the Surfboard Galaxy lies a much more distant 45.9 million light years away!
