Wow, that's a fantastic collection of eye candy. In fact, possibly the best widefield I've seen of the region.
I don't think you're getting enough credit here for resolving absolutely every single region of interest in this widefield; all the interesting bits are pin sharp, none of them blown out (they vary wildly in dynamic range!), with excellent balance of dynamic range versus their surroundings!
NGC 2084, 2079, 2083, 2078 all show extremely good detail (easily blown out or highlights lost). While NGC 2080 and 2077 along with 2074 itself and 2079 can often also be casualties. All of these survived and show exquisite detail.
The image doesn't show any clipping when I open it (not even on my phone this morning) or when I look at the histogram (nice hump with one or two levels to spare even)?
I don't see anything that's artificial either with all detail accounted for in other (narrower-field) images.
More signal, color - can't wait to see where this is going next!
