Photo description / processing

Yesterday I added another 500 frames of M51. The arms have become noticeably sharper, which is very pleasing, and I also made the crop a bit softer. In total, I now have 800 frames. I plan to push it to at least 1200 frames, and then maybe move on to another target. I’m very interested in others’ opinions, and I wouldn’t say no to advice on how to improve it.
