Holy smokes! That's a lot of light pollution from that nearby city.  I tend to get that sort of wash-out from a full moon when I'm waiting for it to set.   Have you considered using some type of Light Pollution Filter?  I tend to drive to where the sky is very clear and sometimes I'll use one of the NiSi Natural Night Filters to try to enhance the image further.  I think Hoya make one of their own as well for Light Pollution.  I just went over some of my own shots of the same region from a shoot about a year ago with the M6+32mm and the same nebula had quite a bit of color to it with this lens.  More than I remembered.  I'm seriously thinking about buying the new EOS Ra model which has a factory altered sensor (no IR) especially for astrophotography and nebulae.  Great to see the M6 II is doing such a fine job.
