Here's 2.5 hours on M 101. The first has some very basic processing; the second is a little "overcooked" to show more color. The image needs about 5 hours of data to really take shape, but I have so many other objects I want to image :). The linear artifact on the first image is due to a glitch in one of the software packages I used to process the image. It is minor and I decided not to fix it for this post.
