Hmmmmmyeeeeesssss ... hyper-stretching eh?? Even a Gendler image can't stand up to that kind of treatment!! (yes, I've tried )
No issue there, completely agree, I only tried on your iamge becasue I could see faint features in the background

The hyper stretched lum is pretty clean. However there are two short linear features running from 8 to 2 o'clock at the 11 o'clock position above M77 that I think might be real (ie present after combining 18 subs from both sides of the meridian).
Yes I noticed those, they were what caught my attention in the first place, so I wonder what they are..?

Yes, you have to be (more) careful using shadow/highlight tool to avoid dark halos around bright stars.
Hey don't worry about it, the image looks fine as presented and that's the way it should be appreciated
