It seems the calibration with the flats didn't work that well. Tinted at the left and the right border (red and blue).
Workflow:
- Removal of worst satellite Frames
- Calibration with Flats
- Registering

M101, stacked with Siril, autostreched, no further processing
345 Light Frames with 30s Exposure => 2h 52,5min total Exposure
M101 - stacked and autostreched after pcc (photometric color correction)
345 Light Frames with 30s Exposure => 2h 52,5min total Exposure
M86 final, workflow with GraXpert (Background Extraction and Denoising) and Siril, not calibrated.
