[RCC] Any improvement ideas for my Markarian's Chain?

Also stars looks little bit unnatural, too small i think.

📷 Gal_unn.jpgThis part of the image attracts attention.

My personal opinion - the stars are fine, they are different in size and brightness and are not focusing the attention of the viewer primarily to stars. The depth of the image is already good, I would - if possible - add one or two more nights to get even more depth into the galaxies and to make the existing tiny galaxies visible. The framing - some want a clear N-S framing, which would be not very beneficial in that case, so I would leave it as it is.
This target is not as easy as it seems to be because you find not only tiny galaxies but also large ones with a very bright core and some with colored details - to get all well is not easy.
So overall, a well done image, which would benefit from more photons.

Excellent points, I would also agree that more time could improve this image.
