Don't add information on dark, flat and bias to the image description!
And why there are no colors on the image?

2- Information on Dark, Flats and Bias deleted, but I'm a bit surprised as in all the sites I post, like Telescopius.com, for example, that is a useful info for colleague astrophotographers...not in here... ok, is that a site rule, or just your opinion ?
3- No colors ? check again !!

3. The colors are still not very noticeable. If you can share the original image (the final sum after calibration), I would try to process it.

Flats and Bias are mandatory to use anyway, so the matter is just if we declare them or not... got it !
3- The colors are the ones my camera captured without enhancing them artifitially in processing.

You can check the colors of a few of my other images showing more colorful DSOs. So it's not the camera nor the processing. Is the subject
