Orion Nebula - A Question

Hi everyone,

This is my first ever photo (with thanks to the help of a member) and I have a question. How much post-processing is considered 'too much' to the astrophotography community?

As I was stacking in photoshop, I used one photo with extra saturation to bring out the colours and reduced the opacity to 20% as I stacked it so it helped the colour to pop. And I really love it, but as I am an amateur, I am just wondering what is the culture in terms of what is considered 'bad' or 'good'? Is this a bad photo?

Interested to hear your thoughts and if you have examples of bad or good, that would be great.
