You got a lot of detail there despite the evil factory!
Light pollution often shows most heavily in the green channel. Its washed out the colour a bit so try checking your green channel. Probably the black point slider can be shifted more to cut out some of the noise.
Also Rogelio Andreo's "HLVG" free plug in works really well in that scenario.
After balancing the geen bias I would try to up saturation and use the colour balance tool to get some more colour into the stars and the galaxy. It looks like the data is there.
