I normally would not have commented…but as you did ask:
The star profiles and colour variation is good. But I really dislike the palette. What physical process are you revealing/highlighting with this choice?
Localised sharpening at the bright nebula core is at odds with soft data elsewhere. Stray blue and red pixels (I’m guessing noise) are speckled in the shadows,
which themselves are often a muddy colour. Framing and field of view is also good, but sadly doesn’t salvage the muted pastel look of this rendition.
Hey, but if this look floats ‘yer boat…then absolutely ignore my astro-world view and be happy.
