Description

While re-organizing my image collection, I found 60 frames of M101 had I had never processed. This is actually one of the first galaxy images that I took with my ZWO ASI071MC Pro camera. The flats for this image may be a little under exposed as the whole image appears to have a light ring around the edges that was reduced during processing but is still somewhat visible.

Description: This image had lots of issues, one be the major gradient to the left of the galaxy. The flat was also an issue. I was able to remove most of the gradient issue with DBE and hid the flat issue by cropping the image a little more the usual. This version is much better than the original but it really needs new data.
