You've got some good star colors in there, Brian. I equalized your black points and the star colors were more noticeable (see attached image).
You could use two other strategies to make them more intense:
---Process two different versions of your image, one for optimizing the nebula and the other for preserving star colors, then layer the best of each together.
---Early on in your processing with levels and curves, stop when the star colors lood good, select them out, process until the nebula looks good, and then feather.
You have some good detail in your M 1.
Good job.
