Alan, nicely done! I think you can bring out a little more of the outer parts of M81. I checked in
PS using Curves and if you pin the top quarter of the curve and the bottom 8th of the curve, you
can lift the center parts of the curve slightly and the background will stay dark, the highlights
won't blow out and the arms of M81 will brighten.
