Approximately 3 hours of integration time and stacked in Siril and Photoshop. Starnet++ used for star fields and nebula extraction.
A first attempt at this object and first attempt at creating an HDR image using multiple exposure lengths. 30 sec, 100sec and 120 sec exposures shot at iso 800.
Used a skywatcher star adventurer 2i pro, Fuji xt4, and 55-200mm lens at 200mm f5.6.

Looks like you were a bit out of focus.
You can improve the image by capturing some Calibration Frames and focusing it properly. HDR images work best at planetary imaging and not at DSOs.
