I continue trying new VeraLux scripts in Siril, and another one has been added - VeraLux Revela.

Revela - a local contrast mechanism: it adds "brightness" and volume to midtones and faint structures (texture).
Other scripts for this image: VeraLux Alchemy, VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch, VeraLux Star Composer, VeraLux Vectra, VeraLux Revela, HDR Multiscale.
For noise reduction and background equalization I used GraXpert
