M81 & M82 - Bode's Galaxy & The Cigar Galaxy

Another one from me, again taken in March plus I added 3hrs of Ha  when we had some clear sky but a 60-70% moon, which has helped to add a bit of bling to M81 and highlight the filaments around M82 core.
Total of 7.5 hrs imaging time, 1.5hrs on lum, 3hrs on Ha and 1 hr each RGB. Again all 120s subs at unity gain on ASI1600
Used similar flow to my previous post of Leo Triplet.
Without getting into being too self critical the the stars in RH corner are a bit weird, think it could be a focuser droop or flex as the nearly vertical angle I was capturing at was more extreme than I've done before and I was baby sitting the rig in case of a clash with the pier.
Thanks
Bryan
