Astrophotography Question First image of M16

Post image

-Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P Virtuoso GTi telescope

-SV705C camera (unfiltered)

-4-second exposures at gain 350

-Processed in Siril: 70 minutes of data, with 71 darks frames and 50 flatt frames

-Bortle 8.9 sky

I feel it turned out pretty well. I’d like to gather more integration time, but I’d appreciate any suggestions for improvement.https://imgur.com/a/ptmFvG5
