Your processing skills are improving. My only critique is dark halos around the stars. Very good result from siril. Have you tried pixinsight yet?
Thanks! I am starting to get the hang of it I think. I did try out the free trial for PixInsight but there are so many options that I ended up getting lost in it, never successfully processed an image with it. I know there are tutorials but I just haven't taken the time. I finally realized that color enhancement outside of Siril was definitely helping. Just using the photo editing on Mac but I may venture out at some point. I also updated Siril recently, my stacking in this picture was awful. I may add a new version to it at some point. Thanks for the critique :)
