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.

Well I'm thinking of using Astronomik clip-in CLS, maybe it will fix my problem , as far as light pollution, my sky is kind of darkest around here, if I want much better sky, I have to travel almost 300km to get to a better place (but it is dangerous because no one lives around there), and at the mercy of weather.

Good luck with your EOS Ra, I'm sure you will make lovely astroworks with it.
