This is normally such a colourful target so I'm surprised to see it so washed out. I'd second AstroVikings suggestion about upping the saturation level.

I use Siril myself, and my processing flow goes as follows:

Crop
Background Extract
Photometric colour calibration
StarNet desaturate stars
Noise Reduction
Initial Asinh stretch to get the amount of stars i want in the image
Adjust the blackpoint
Remove stars with starnet (including auto stretch)
Colour calibrate on the core
Up the saturation level
Generalised Hyperbolic stretch to get get the image to pop
StarNet recombine

This normally gives me a nice image.
