It is a trade off. You need much longer exposure for the nebula and have to accept the saturated bright stars.
You can do clever things like layer in very short exposures after removing the stars from the long exposures but this is beyond my limited processing skills. Try if you like.
Thanks Terry. Yes, it seems one must accept over saturated stars and just deal with them later.
