Lovely! Thanks for the astrophysical background - it adds greatly to my understanding of the image and what's going on.

I think the bright stars are as they should be - this is a faint nebula in a very bright star field, and it should look like that.

I also very much like the high-contrast processing and the colour balance, which avoids the old-style "everything magenta" film look, and gives it a slightly narrowband feel that goes well with the dynamic astrophysics.

Best,
Mike
