It turned out really great, I'm glad you continue doing your thing and I wish for this to grow into something bigger!

Hi there! Thank you so much!

The background is too bright. It's almost gray. It needs to be darkened, and the contrast will increase.

Oh by the way, you're right, it can be reduced a bit. Thanks) There are also areas darker than the background, the ones above Орла, essentially within the nebula itself, apparently I was afraid of ruining them during stretching.

I probably won't re-upload for now, I've already posted 2 images from the same data, but on my laptop I darkened the photos
