I see only one problem- you don't use flats frames.  From me - very quick processing in graxpert, pix and affinity photo.

I do normally use flats and dark flats but didn't on tthis. You've done it justice tho. I may try that software.

Really nice job controlling the trapezium here, without losing a lot of the dim dust detail.

Always a pleasure to let the community try out as everyone gets different results from different ways of processing.
