Messier 16 Fully Processed Seestar 50 Image

 M16 captured during my trip to Indiana. This is a stack of 531 x 10s integrations. Stacked, drizzled, star removal/restoration in Siril; noise reduction in Topaz, with curve adjustment in Affinity.

I’m not sure it’s a better image, but it shows a little more detail.
