Thank you, Andrey. Regarding the stars: 1. Average focal length (1057mm) 2. Captured with a dual-band narrowband filter 3. Separate processing of the nebula and stars – StarXTerminator

I also wanted to add: 4. When I recombine the nebula image with the stars, I do it using a nebula mask to slightly dim the stars in front of the nebula—this makes the image cleaner, the nebula stands out better, and becomes the visual center of the picture.
