You get an A for effort.

I would encourage you to work on getting more out of your processing. I realize you are working at f/7.5, which is on the verge of being "slow", but with 69 minutes of data, there is probably more image hiding in it. I am sure there are some spiral arms hiding in that data.

And/or, get more data.
