How much can we see from Hayes Bromley?

While processing the image of M101 I noticed what I thought could be tracers or faint extensions to the spiral arms.
I have processed the image with a gradient to try to enhance these tracers and for comparison reproduced a NASA ultraviolet image which shows the structure of hot blue stars nicely. What do you think?


The original image.


The gradient enhanced image.


Where I believe I saw the 'tracers'.
