I just can't get along with Andromeda!
There are such objects that just don't submit to "training". Either the imaging doesn't work out, or there are issues with processing. In general, despite all its apparent simplicity, it's quite a difficult object for me personally. Well, let this version be.

Some people remove the rays, while others add them.

Rays are awesome!

Everything seems decent—sharpness, contrast, and the background. But the white balance does lean a bit toward pink. It could use a touch of white-blue... Or is it the filter giving that tint?

Thank you. Perhaps I overdid the pinkish tones. Well, it's okay. Later, if I feel like it, I might tweak the colors a bit. It's not like there's much else to do in winter anyway.
