Sergey, I felt it was overly noisy and the donut-shaped stars are spoiling the impression.

Yes, that's true! But my goal isn't to take a perfect shot—it's to capture a simple image of an object with my modest equipment and in our terrible astroclimate! In this and some other photos, I was actually shooting through a light, barely noticeable haze, and I don't have much post-processing experience yet (I've been shooting since late 2018), not to mention shooting without filters and in an orange zone! But I welcome criticism and advice... whether through links to resources or just in words!
