This is my very first astrophoto!
So, please be gentle. ;-)
The "original" version has only been stacked and stretched.
I've mentioned the other adjustments with their versions.
I considered removing the background and moonlight gradient. It felt a little empty so I decided to add 30% of the background back in. The crop really helped me with the amount I could play with the gamma. And get a lot of nebulosity back. Did some noise reduction. Only added some sharpening in CaptureOne because I haven't learned how to do it in PI jet.
