Hi Kosh, mate what you have captured is about right for am unmodded camera. I took some images of M42 a couple of weeks ago. Generally with M42 you take atleast two sets of exposures, one set much shorter than the other so you can combine the two and have the detail in the nebula of the longer exposure and the detail of the core from the short exposure. Anyway the point to telling you all that was my short exposure was made up of 10x60sec and I didn't get much more than what you have shown.
Nice first image by the way. The learning curve is steep but a lot of fun and we are all here to help where we can. Keep them coming.
