Super image of a tiny faint fuzzy and with only a 6” aperture and 1050mm fl scope too
Well done !!
5 hours , must have been a late one
Do you dither your images now ?

Looks unreal, Pkay, the sharpness is awesome!
Did you give it the ol' SCNR kill green in pixinsight? To me, this might improve the image and possibly bring even more detail
Pkay,
Your endeavour is really paying off, your work flow and setup is producing nice Astro images - a credit to you , keep it up well done. This is a beauty.

It will be a new challenge Pkay that’s for sure- I’ve got one coming via the mail on Monday after all these years-(I’m like a snail in this hobby) so I’m looking forward to trying HaRGB imaging with the modded DSLR too.
Look forward to seeing how you fair with it-
I’m busy collimating and adjusting the newt to get back into dso imaging since it’s been ages since my last capture.
All the best.

in terms of some hints;
the image is black clipped in all channels.
might be worth cropping it in portrait to escape the gradient to the top right - can work pretty well with the star to the right too.
the galaxy can handle some selective sharpening which will make the dust pop a bit more if you were inclined to do so.
