Shot with a tracker?! If so, it couldn't be better!)) Your sky seems to be very good. The processing of the stack is flawless, and the lens is an excellent copy. In short — great dark nebulae (and the other frames too :))

With a tracker, yes :) Thank you so much for your kind words about my amateur astrophotography, it means a lot! :) I'm not quite ready mentally for a serious setup yet, and my options are limited, so I have to chase good skies, yes! Unfortunately, perfect skies are rare around here :(

I liked the stars in all the recent photos. They are small, contrasty, colorful, without halos, and don't overwhelm the main subject. Is this due to the camera sensor or your own processing technique? I haven't looked at everything closely. But I did notice the latest M45 with dust – it looks great!, including the stars, except for the brightest ones in the cluster, although in previous versions of M45 there was no overexposure. But this might not be a flaw, just a bright artistic choice.

Thank you very much :) As for whether the credit goes to me or to PixInsight, I can't really say—most likely it's a joint effort :D After all, it's just a processing tool, and everyone uses it in their own way :)
