Wow, for 9 minutes, that's more than excellent.

This is with denoising, though; on the clean sum, there was a bit less dust.

Yeah, usually an image like this takes hours to capture.

Yes, but I wouldn't say anything was specifically added; it's just that the transitions have become smoother.

This photo is excellent in every way. Both the color rendition and the brightness/contrast are spot on. Even the core of the nebula isn't "blown out" into a bright, featureless spot, as often happens.

Why did you leave the image mirrored? It looks a bit unusual this way.

Perhaps after some operation in Siril, I forgot to flip it back.
