Took about 37 mins of M82 and M81, only darks and bias frames no flats.

Maybe try this. For the top one highlight a mostly empty bakcground area, and for the bottom one highlight a bright area of one of the galaxies
its the one above photometric

will probably go away if I dithered and used more images
Its my first image and im still very happy that I can see the galaxies
Thank you for all the help!
