M31 - Andromeda Galaxy
M31 is one of my favourites. The processing was tricky, because Siril didn't be able to execute the LRGB script. When it was working on the L channel, I got an error message about there is not enough space in my HDD (I have almost 500 GB free space). So I had to work only with the RGB channels. Maybe the result is a bit oversaturated.
