I think a nebula fan might like this so I post it here (even though it's from Hubble/SCSTI data). I went into the Hubble archives and used 6 images taken (by others) between 2006 and 2007 in the Advanced Camera for Surveys of a section of M101; although there were more frames of this region with different filters, I elected to focus on the exposures/filters that showed the clouds best

The gap you see is due to the imaging chip gap. I started out just trying to experiment with downloading FITS data files and looking at them in AIP for Windows and some of them were opening fine, but when I got to these particular M101 related shots they wouldn't open, so I had to download the the "quickview" GIF versions of images and then convert them to .jpg's so Registax could see them. I used Registax in an attempt at subtracting noise.
