Thanks! By the "actually" does that mean there's something that does look good though? lol 😅

Whenever I use the word "actually" to accentuate my point, I mean it in an inflection sort of way, as to indicate surprise or shock, which can have positive or negative connotation depending on the context of the situation.

In this case, I meant it in a positive sense, as your image here has a lot more detail and quality than I first expected when clicking on your post.

And to answer your question, yes! A lot of things here look really good, the colors, star quality, definition and detail on the nebulosity, it all looks very nicely imaged and processed!

As far as criticism goes, some areas of the nebulosity have some saturation gradients that create odd coloration, i.e. greens where there shouldn't be green, purples where there shouldn't be purples, etc.
