Re: [APML] New M101

Steve, the image has several problems.  First, it is out of focus, and
seeing that the grain appears also out, I may ask if you either applied some
sort  of blur filter, or your scanner was out.  The horizontal banding from
you scanner I think is unacceptable.  And finally, there is a severe
vignette making the center bright green.
