Pinwheel Galaxy, M101, best I can do with it

Messier 101, the "pinwheel" galaxy, is an asymmetrical or "heavy arm" spiral galaxy approximately 27 million light years away in Ursa Major. Also home to a recently discovered supernova, SN2011fe.I am not too happy with this shot, it is a 3 frame composite stacked in deep sky stacker with the usual levels/curves/astrotools action panel in photoshop. It is what it is, hope to do better..
