I took mine on April 22, 1998. Mine does not show the spiral arms any better than yours, unlike the case with M81. But mine has a better range of color, with a yellowish core and some hint of pink in the arms. My lower contrast seems to be a disadvantage in this photo. My resolution and limiting magnitude appear identical to yours.
