Well I am somewhat dissappointed in what looked a decent image this afternoon now has a rather horrible gradient and the background is blotchy.

A lot of my efforts look OK to post but then look decidedly worse to me once they are on the forum, but I tend to post from my image processing PC, then view them later on an IPad.

I can see the gradient you are referring to, but there is a lot of good detail in the galaxy. I guess you had no Astro darkness when you collected the data?

Note to self do not process in brightdaylight.

Not had any astro dark for  nearly a month now.

I think it’s still decent. Good detail in the galaxy.

Even with the gradient, I think it looks awesome... great detail.

That's a cracking deep M101 Steve.  I can't see the gradient on my rather insensitive laptop

That happens to me sometimes and it is so frustrating. It seems to happen to me when I process on one specific pc/ monitor, even though I've calibrated all my monitors. I now crank the brightness up on that monitor when I'm prcessing and that seems to minimise it.its a great M101 irrespective.

Happens to me all the time too!

I will be reprocessing this from scratch when I get in the mood.
