Your pic is really dark, are you using a very slow scope? The problem with the outer stars is quite strong coma.

Sorry! I've edited my signature!

As for the image, 2032mm f/10, 3min subs. ISO800. I didn't really stretch the histogram using curves in photoshop much, I liked how the darker "clouds" looked. I might play around with it a bit more though.

Thanks! I might try some more subs with my field flatterer(I had it off to troubleshoot issues with M42) and compose it differently.
