Images are lacking sharpness and are noisy

I feel like no matter how much I try my images are still grainy and noisy.

I'm not sure if its my editing process or if this is just what I should expect from my Seestar S50. I currently mostly process through siril. I'll post my steps below. Im also still pretty new to manually stretching, any advice is much appreciated!

  1. Stack photos using Seestar script
  2. Crop
  3. Extract background
  4. Image Plate Solve
  5. Color Calibration - Spectrophotometric Color Calibration
  6. Denoise through GraXpert AI denoise python script
  7. Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch

Photo Info: No settings change in seestar, 10 sec substacks
