A very good and sharp image Ceph.

You may want to look at your histogram read out for the background sky and some of the stars - there is a blue cast across the FOV.  Don't lose it on M101 though - you have captured the hot blue stars of the spiral arms well (maybe a touch mauve) but very good.

Lovely spiralling HII regions as well.  Very well done.

HTH.

Thanks. Yes it is there and even another one below M101 :)

@artem
Thank you

Thanks. Sometimes the most works well, there are some things to improve but all in all I am happy with the pic.
I am surprised myself over the details as there are not so much exposure time.

@Pankaj
Thank you

@Barry
The background has been a puzzle on this one as it was far to red from the start. Yes I see a touch of to much
blue in the histogram, but I cant see it on my on my screen, tricky. I will reduce the blue on the background a little and will see
what I can do about the stars, thanks for letting me know and you kind comment :)
