Hi - I hope you don't mind - I downloaded your image and had a bit of a play in Pixinsight. I think it looks a little bit better. The steps I took:
DBE - to clean up the back ground
Masked Morphilociacal transform - to sharpen up and tone down areas
Curves
Masked Saturation Boost
Reset Histogram.
I'm still very much a learner with Pixinsight -so there are probably 100 other ways to achieve the same result. Great image nice telescope the CDK.
Cheers
Geof Wingham
