Nice, But I've noticed in your images most of your images are extremely oversaturated they are not very natural I would suggest looking at natural images of the nebula and see how it goes it seems to me that you did not apply the HLVG filter on your image or the SCNR, but this oversaturation definitely brings out some details

Thank you so much for your feedback ! And i think i did over saturated.. i will definitely do it differently next time but this is my first try on filter editing i usually shoot with unmodified dslr without any filters
And here i am starting to learn how to use filters :)
Thanks again
Yes it a Big Change! don't worry you will get used to it
