В итоге получилось совсем другое видение, где больше раскрыты возможности трубы.

Alexey! Something's not quite right, this telescope shouldn't be drawing like this... I can't find online whether it has a UV/IR filter or just a protective glass? And have you tried shooting with filters on it at all?
I don't know, Oleg, there's definitely no filter in the telescope, but the ZWO 2600 MC camera has a built-in IR CUT filter. Maybe I'm missing something though. I don't have much experience, so I'd be glad if you could give me some advice.
Maybe it's due to my clumsy processing—I processed it in Siril, separating the stars using Starnet. Perhaps I shouldn't have done that; maybe I should have extracted the background, color-calibrated, and simply stretched the histogram?
I checked it at work, the telescope is a beast!!! Something happens during stacking.

Probably need to look into switching to PixInsight.
Also, I would try installing a UV/IR cut filter or some similar broadband filter. I've read that the built-in filter in some ASI cameras isn't very good.
Thanks for your help, Oleg! Overall, the issue might be with the stacking, and regarding the filter, yes, I need to think about it. The telescope is good, no problems with it, that's clear. I'll check out the link! One more question related to this: Would you like to try processing my raw file in PixInsight? I'm really curious to see what the difference would be.
I put this together quickly, you can upload it to the hosting so there's an example of the telescope's resolution, the scope is fire.

Thank you, Oleg! Yes, it turned out great; you can probably only achieve that in PixInsight, and of course, with experience. Today I posted Markarian's Chain after final processing—I used GraXpert, and I think it came out pretty well.
