Description: I increased the saturation of the image using the (shotty) photo editor in my phone, just to see if it would/could actually improve the image. But I'm not sure if I like it better or not?!🤔 What do you guys think? I really would appreciate/want your honest opinions. And also, I personally, really appreciate constructive criticism, because as long as it is constructive, I can learn from, and improve from it! Which is my objective ☺️. But Please, no obligerant, arrogant, or demeaning comments.😉

I hope that you guys like the image! 😁

I know that it's no APOD image. The stars in my Image(s), generally aren't perfect pinpoints(unfortunately)!😓 I focus with a bahtinov mask, albeit, a homemade one! My guiding is also pretty good, I think?! Generally, it's between 0.50"-0.70". Although, on some really good nights, my guiding can sometimes be great (IMO at least) being between 0.25"-0.50"!😳 I would really appreciate it if anyone has any ideas and/or tips that can help me to improve my images! Post-processing is by far my biggest challenge! Before starting in AstroPhotography, I had nearly zero experience with cameras (other than the camera on my phone). I had never ever used any editing/stacking softwares (such as Adobe Photoshop or DSS), either! So, if anyone wants to enlighten me a little, I'll gladly accept it!😉
