m81 Luminous and Ha data 1st run through processing

The learning curve on focusing with a new Ha filter is been quite challenging but , with determination and willingness to "get r dun" pushes me to try , try , and try. After talking with Ed on the 6th I was able to get a short 2 channel sequence ran before I was in a tree. I keep having issues with my tube running into the tripod leg since reattaching my dec motor and putting it on the right side, it only does it during blind solving . I'm still working on removing the light line in the lower middle and the ampglow , any ideas as to what I should try differently in the processing of this?

Looks good, very clean, round stars...how much exposure time did you have?

Is your white line always in the same place, I assume it’s not in your flats, darks, bias?

Flats will remove amp glow!

Thank you fellas and Ed I usually do that in processing but, forgot how to do that in AIP4win. I need to get back into my handbook. I will surely give the flats a go, I hope m flats are worth a darn and hopefully that'll be all she wrote of that. Brian I ran for 30s exposures guided , last year I could only do 20s and never had that white line before and last night it wasn't in any of the data collected . I'm working on getting my guiding and mount up to 180s for deeper faint fuzzy objects. After running into the leg of the tripod, it's been a long road to get it to recover . " I HAVE TO GET IT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS" it's doing better and it's getting there. Time is not on my side !
