It was very difficult to capture this galaxy due to the low surface brightness, the bright moon and the poor visibility last night. This galaxy is also one of the largest in the sky, and the sensor on my camera isn't big enough to capture it in full.

I would appreciate your thoughts and recommendations, especially regarding my processing, what do you thing about the stars, background and the galaxy itself?— I am still a beginner.
