I don't shoot in RAW..

I'm kind a surprised to hear that. So, in that case I was wondering what settings you are using, for example sharpness, noise reduction and etc.?

I only use a subtle amount of Noise Reduction when editing images taken with very high ISO (eg 1600-3200) but the camera does perform NR when processing JPEG images in-camera.  I don't add sharpening during editing because I feel it can be too destructive. The setting on my camera *User Defined Preference* is "FINE DETAIL" so that automatically retains quite a bit of detail to begin with.  I've also tweaked the color slightly so it's less Cyan biased.  I found the very first shots out of the camera seemed a little "blue" so that's why I altered the color setting slightly.  I usually have a slight increase in saturation with most camera settings but only very slightly.  Most color alterations can be applied via software if needed. 
.
I try to capture the colors and contrast as accurately as possible within the camera.  It's a good habit to get into.  I've only shot RAW about two times in almost 2 decades.  HOWEVER, I may shoot Comet 46P/Wirtanen next week when it's brighter using RAW+JPEG just to allow me a little more flexibility.
.
I usually play with images a little after downloading them.  If I do, it's to raise details hidden in shadow (DR Recovery) and sometimes I'll adjust the color hues. Then, if I really need to, I'll apply a pass with Noise Reduction with a Photoshop pluggin.
