New M42, Horse and flame, and Eta

Hi all,
Just love this new scope.
It was pretty clear on friday night so a good night for imaging.
The moon was up during the Orion shots but set for Eta
Still having trouble witb processing but maybe im trying to squeeze something out of nothing and just getting noise.
I probably need more subs and then i can stretch more more within getting that washed out look.

All images
20 x 120 seconds
Darks, flats, and bias applied
ISO 800
Canon 450d modded
Skywatcher BD 150mm

Stacked in DSS
Processed in Photshop

(M42 had a 15 second stack blended in from the week before to help with thie core)

Now i read what i wrote the images were only 40 minutes each.
No wonder i cant get faint detail without noise.
Cheers
Andy
