Nice captures, Brett.
If you have not attempted yet, try acquiring multiple frames of each image and then use a free program like DSS (deepskystacker), which will allow you to combine/stack them all, providing you with a deeper image.
There are a lot of friendly people on IIS to help you with the entire process if you get hung up somewhere.
As for Orion's core being blown out, you can use some techniques in Photoshop or other smart photo software that will allow you to mask the core and add a deeper image over it, this will preserve the inner Triangulum.
