I can't figure out which is better. This one or the adjacent one?((((

Undoubtedly, this version is better than the previous one in both resolution and color. Just the background could be tightened a bit here.

I agree with the background and colors. But the core here is brutally burned out. In the previous version, it was preserved.

If I were you, I would capture more data with a UV/IR filter. For stretching, if you have a licensed version of PixInsight, use MultiscaleAdaptiveStretch — it stretches both stars and galaxies very carefully without causing overexposure.
