M97, The Owl Nebula or NGC 3587 is a planetary nebula in the Ursa Major. It was discovered by French astronomer Pierre Méchain on February 16, 1781. When William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, observed the nebula in 1848, his drawing looked like an owl's head and it has been known as the Owl Nebula ever since.

It is reasonably bright and imaging with an OIII filter will really help bring out the contrast in our light polluted skies.

Open Cluster, M46, NGC2437

[et_pb_section bb_built="1"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.20.1"]

Messier 46 also known as NGC2437 is an open cluster discovered in 1771 by Charles Messier. it is a very bright and very rich open cluster of about 500 stars and as a bonus the planetary nebula NGC 2438 appears to lie within the cluster near its northern edge, but in reality it is most likely unrelated.

If you are looking at M46 why not also have a look at M47.which is only about a degree west of M46, so the two fit well in a binocular or wide-angle telescope field.
