Hello. I would love to see what can be done with this image.

Attached is my processed png along side the stacked .tif

I stacked in dss , brought it over to siril for background extraction and histogram stretching. Then removed the stars and made a few more color edits in gimp before adding stars back in siril.

This is my first time using any of this software and just followed some online tutorials for beginners. So with that any tips or things I can improve on would help.

Thanks

cosmic clarity does it, its a kind of blurX but free

#

that was all done in siriL btw
