Photo description / processing

So I finally got a pixel... I did stack in Siril though, since my masters didn't work in FITS, I need to rebuild them for another format.

There's certainly a lot of dust there) Great photo! Try stacking it in PixIn

Thank you very much, I will definitely try it, but honestly I don't think the result will be drastically different. The algorithms are all the same as far as I understand, I'll just take a look to see if there's a difference.
