Photo description / processing

Honestly, I didn't expect such a decent result, since there was noticeable haze in the sky and all the single frames had very bloated stars, which really disappointed me when I reviewed them. I thought this effect would be amplified many times over when stacking, but it seems it didn't turn out too bad and is actually quite presentable.

Do you have the Samyang 135mm? Can I take a look at a photo of the setup? Maybe we could team up, pick a spot, and gather about 50-60 hours? PixInsight will do the rest...
