Photo description / processing

Shot over 5 nights: the first night ~2h of integration, then a 2-month break, then sessions of ~30min each.

I think I could have done better, but I don't fully understand how to make the photo less noisy, sharper, and how to get rid of noise at the edges of the photo. For me, I did the maximum.

If you can process it better than me, write in the comments if you want. Thanks in advance!
