Ok, again should have done more subs, but I really like this, probably the best image from friday.

Looks great... Love the couple of fuzzies in the background - still a slight gradient bottom left to top right but apart from that can't fault it...

Looks very good - I also prefer it to the M101. Quite a few background fuzzies there.

How many subs was this and how long was each sub?

BTW, I think the image needs flipping because it spirals the wrong way.

The image is 10x5 minutes, again I think 16x10 minute subs would make this a really good image, but I'm happy with it.

That's very good with that many subs Chris. The diffraction spikes are quite subdued and, I think, aesthetically pleasing.
