Not a bad result at all. I think you’ve done well to control the LP in processing but unfortunately the more processing you with these kind of targets the less natural they start to look. That’s a fair bit of integration but shooting into the city skylight dome is exceptionally tough without a filter. I’ve been trying to hit most of the new moons myself for galaxy shots without a filter but into the city lights is just a awful. Unfortunately for you most of the bright galaxy targets right now are rising out of the SE.
Still glad you posted your efforts mate and hopefully you can get to some dark sky sometime for another go.
