Some good data there Mark.

The dynamic range looks too flattened. By that I mean the bright areas are dulled down like the glob and the bright core stars in the blue neb.

So work with curves and levels to restore the dynamic range.

Colourwise there is a fair bit of green light pollution. I would run HLVG free plug in at strong level to correct or if you have PI use ACDNR.

The blues need to be brought up as the reflection neb should be more colourful than that.

Then work with the colour in general. There are some too heavy red halos around some stars. That may require the saturation of red/yellow reduced or decon on the red master image to reduce the size of the red component as perhaps it was out of focus slightly, taken at a low angle or seeing worsened when doing the red channel.

Greg.
