M101 with unwanted background noise M101 with a little too much noise in the background. Discovered later the problems are caused by two issues. Firstly RGB colour balance hasn't been done on a G2V star (a lack of appropriate SW) and secondly my netbook monitor isn't colour calibrated as this looks fine on that screen. I will redo this image once I've fixed the above. Link-words: messier
