Good effort there for a mag 8 galaxy under moon glare with limited data
As your probably aware, Galaxies are best imaged with your OSC during the new moon period with just a UV/IR cut filter. The moon is your enemy when it comes to galaxy imaging , plays havoc with detail and colour
Also imaging a mag 8 galaxy with a OSC you need plenty of data to improve your SNR together with your calibration, at least 2 or 3 hours of data or more
Nice camera by the way
Well done !!
I can echo Alex’s advice about Startools, I’ve been an advocate for years with this software and it keeps improving with every version
Cheers
