I took this photo of the fireworks galaxy with my seestar. It’s about 2 hours worth of exposure time (500x10) and I just need help editing it. I don’t have any editing software and I’m a beginner to Astrophotography so I don’t really know any key terms or what to do. Can somebody help me make the Galaxy appear more colourful and stand out. Thank you!!

Or do you think I should take more photos and stack it so it’s more clear and then edit it?

Did you get the Seestar to save individual frames?

you know I've wanted to get like 10h+ on this galaxy just never had the chance to because I'm caught up in other stuff. if you can get a lot more integration and edit fairly decently it should look good
