Not bad, really! You might want to experiment with color balance, to get more of a neutral gray or slightly blue sky. The red/brown color is somewhat true, but not pleasing! What were your exposure times? I noticed a little detail around Bodes galaxy, which is nice!

thanks for looking and comment. image was taken in 2012 lost data on it. hope to start shooting again in the fall and improve on processing. the best I can get from my polar alignment is 90 second exposures unguided. something else to work on. thanks again
